Before you move
Ask your current orthodontist for your records: X-rays, photos, the treatment plan and what has been paid. Ask for a final check before you leave.
Your first visit here
Dr. Breckett examines your teeth and reviews the records. Then we tell you what is left to do, how long it may take, and the fee for the rest.
Aligner patients
Aligners are planned by one office. We may need a new scan and new trays to finish your case.
Questions about moving to lakeland in braces
Will I pay twice?
You pay for the treatment left, not the whole case. We give you the fee in writing after the first visit.
Can you keep my current brackets?
Often, yes. Many brackets and wires can be adjusted by another orthodontist. The exam tells us.
