Ask Dr. McAnnally: What can I expect during my consultation?

When you first come in for your consultation, Dr. Roy McAnnally will conduct a comprehensive examination to assess your oral health. This will better enable us to determine the best treatment method for you.

Your orthodontic evaluation will consist of an oral and facial examination to assess your oral health. Dr. McAnnally will have you take intraoral and facial photographs, as well as panoramic and cephalometric x-rays to help determine the proper orthodontic treatment method. Then, an impression of your teeth and bite will be taken to construct a model of your mouth.

At your second appointment, Dr. McAnnally will discuss your options with you. Our team feels it’s important to take the time to carefully examine your diagnostic records after your consultation so that Dr. McAnnally can more thoroughly prepare for your treatment at the office of Roy D. McAnnally.

If you are seeking orthodontic treatment for your child, our staff ask that both you and your son or daughter attend the initial consultation. We feel it is important that both you and your child completely understand Dr. McAnnally’s recommendations before we proceed with treatment.

Give us a call at 248-647-0696 and schedule a consultation! Dr. McAnnally and our staff look forward to hearing from you!
