Question 1

What personal information do I need to provide at my first visit?

Accepted Answer

New patients at Aces of Braces must provide their full name, date of birth, address, phone number, and emergency contacts. Marital status and employer details may also be requested to assist with billing and insurance verification, helping ensure smooth communication and an efficient patient experience.

Question 2

How do I update my contact information during treatment?

Accepted Answer

Patients can update their contact information by calling the office or using the patient portal. Keeping your address, phone number, and email up to date helps ensure you receive appointment reminders and important treatment updates.

Question 3

Is dental insurance required for braces treatment?

Accepted Answer

Dental insurance is not required for braces treatment. However, many patients provide insurance details such as the insured’s name, ID or SSN, employer, group number, and insurance company so the office can help estimate orthodontic coverage and out-of-pocket costs.

Question 4

How often do you check dental visit frequency?

Accepted Answer

Patients may indicate how often they visit the dentist, such as twice a year or as needed, along with their last cleaning date. Maintaining regular dental cleanings is important during braces treatment to reduce the risk of white spots, cavities, and gum issues.

Question 5

Have I had unfinished dental work?

Accepted Answer

Patients should indicate whether they have unfinished dental work such as cavities, crowns, or pending extractions. Completing necessary dental treatments before starting braces helps prevent delays and allows orthodontic appliances to be placed more effectively.

Question 6

Do I eat normally before braces day?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can eat normally before your braces appointment, but it is important to brush and floss thoroughly beforehand. After braces are placed, soft foods are recommended for a short period to reduce discomfort while your mouth adjusts.

Question 7

What to expect at my initial consultation?

Accepted Answer

During the initial consultation, bring your completed forms, insurance information, and arrive with clean teeth. The visit may include an exam, X-rays, and photos. Your orthodontist will diagnose your needs and outline a treatment plan, with braces typically lasting between 12 and 24 months.
