MISSION STATEMENT: 'TO SATISFY EACH PATIENT WITH HIGH QUALITY TREATMENT USING THE FINEST RESOURCES AT VERY MODEST FEES’
It’s not just about having straight teeth. It’s about how amazing one feels when one has a beautiful smile with healthy teeth. Dr.Shrirang Joshi feels it’s everyone's right to have an amazing life with an attractive smile and is dedicated to maximizing your smile potential. And, when it comes to braces and faces, experience counts and we are creating happy smiles since 1995.
INITIAL CONSULTATION
Your first visit is an opportunity for you to get to know the doctor, staff and treatment facilities. At this visit, you will have to fill a form. At your first visit, Dr.Shrirang Joshi will determine if Orthodontic treatment is right for you or your child. If treatment is indicated, digital X-rays will be advised for a quick and more accurate diagnosis. Diagnostic records may be taken in steps at the same visit or scheduled as a separate appointment. Also, he will discuss your treatment options and costs in brief just to give you an overall idea.
Diagnostic records typically include X-rays, plaster study models of the teeth and photos of the patient's face and teeth. The study models and X-rays allows the doctor to take measurements and perform various analysis. This information is used to develop a custom treatment plan for each patient. These records are also helpful in tracking the progress of treatment as the teeth move.
FINAL TREATMENT PLAN
After Dr. Joshi has evaluated your records, a customized treatment plan is made for each individual patient. The doctor will now discuss your particular treatment in detail. This will include the type of treatment, the required time period and the number of visits required for your treatment. Depending on the complexity of the treatment, the final fee for your particular case will be given along with the choice of appliance / braces and payment options available.
So,all the following basic queries and doubts which most patients and parents have in mind are cleared automatically as the doctor explains what is to be done step by step.
Is Orthodontic  treatment really needed? Will it really help?
What is the best time to begin the treatment?
What is the estimated duration of treatment?
Is extraction needed for treatment? If yes, will the space close?
Are there choices in techniques or braces?
What is the cost and what are the payment options?
REGULAR APPOINTMENTS
The process of appliance fixation usually takes two appointments of 30-45 minutes each. Depending on your case, you'll then see us at regular intervals of approximately 6 to 8 weeks apart for an adjustment, which takes 10 to 15 minutes. Patients are seen by appointment only. We make every effort to be on time for our patients, and expect you to extend the same courtesy to us. If you cannot keep an appointment, please notify us immediately. Cancel only if it is an emergency. It is difficult to reschedule your appointment, since most appointments are made 6 to 8 weeks in advance. In case we have to change an appointment, you will get a call from us and in this case, you will get an immediate available appointment. So please give at least two phone numbers. Also, inform us in case your phone number changes.
COST AND PAYMENT OPTIONS
We are committed to helping our patients attain a beautiful smile and healthy bite at reasonable prices. The cost of treatment depends on the complexity of the case. However, we have many choices to suit everyone’s needs and budgets. You will be able to discuss fees and payment options before treatment begins.
At 'my ORTHODONTISTTM', you can feel confident and be assured that we use the highest-quality appliances at most reasonable fees using the finest labs to provide a consistent high-quality treatment. So, be assured and go ahead with your decision.
