In order to build a complete and informed medical file, it is necessary for the orthodontist to have access to several elements, such as impressions, photos, X-rays, or a cephalometric study.
An X-ray assessment will then be carried out, in order to highlight the condition of the periodontium as well as the movements to be obtained. This is essential information in order to decide on the appropriate type of appliance to be applied.
Once these elements have been collected, the final diagnosis and treatment plan can be established, and will be presented to the patient. At the same time, the practitioner will be able to provide a quote depending on the treatment decided and the equipment chosen.
For patients under 16 years of age, a request for prior approval will then be automatically sent to the Social Security in order to start orthodontic treatment.
