Let’s face it: teeth aren’t naturally perfect. They are crooked, misaligned, discolored, or even painful. Did your teeth grow in crooked, or spaced? Have you struggled with the appearance of your smile for a long time? Now is the chance to correct that by taking your first step. What’s a better first step than a free orthodontic consultation at your local Brownsburg orthodontist office!? During the consultation, Dr. Chapman will address your questions, concerns, and talk about a treatment plan that will best suit your specific case. But, it’s always a good idea to come to a consultation with your own questions, so that you get the most out of your appointment.

We want you to feel prepared and in charge of your orthodontic treatment decisions, so keep these questions in mind when you come in to Chapman Orthodontics:

If my goal is to _____, what kinds of options do I have? What types of braces are offered? Could alternatives to traditional metal braces be right for me? – Asking this is important because it helps Dr. Chapman get an idea of your goals, and helps you discern which treatment options will work to help you accomplish your goals.
What kind of preparation is needed to get braces? How many visits will it take? – It is always a good idea to ask a question like this at your free consultation so that you can guarantee that your orthodontic treatment will fit comfortably and conveniently into your schedule.
Can I expect any pain when getting braces? – This is a common concern, and one that you should bring up if it is worrying you. Chapman Orthodontics will explain exactly what to expect, and can reassure you that any pain will be short term and minimal.
What determines how long I have to wear braces? – This is another very common concern, especially for adults looking to straighten their teeth in Brownsburg, IN. The length of treatment will vary from patient to patient. During your consultation we can evaluate your teeth and jaw alignment to determine the correct course and length of treatment.
How will braces affect my lifestyle? Foods I can eat? Activities I can do? – Unfortunately, it is inevitable that braces will cause some lifestyle changes. It is important to know what you will have to do to get the most out of your treatment ahead of time, so that you can prepare. And don’t worry, Chapman Orthodontics will give you all the help you need to make for a smooth transition.
Who will be involved in the orthodontic work? Whom can I expect to see during my adjustment visits? – Many patients are hesitant when it comes to later appointments, because they want to ensure that they are in good hands. Here at Chapman Orthodontics, you can be sure that no matter who you are speaking with, they are well educated and trustworthy, with their only goal being to make sure that your treatment goes well. However, Dr. Chapman will always be available for you when you come into the office, so there’s no need to worry! But, it is still a good idea to ask this and get acquainted with the whole Chapman Orthodontics team.
What will my orthodontic work cost? What is the “average” cost and what could be the maximum? – Everyone’s cost is different, just like everyone’s treatment in different. It is crucial to discuss this prior to treatment, so that the Chapman Orthodontics team can help craft a payment plan you feel comfortable with.
