  • ACKNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT

  • Successful orthodontic treatment is a partnership between the orthodontist and the patient. Dr. Pool and staff are dedicated to achieving the best possible result for each patient. As a general rule, informed and cooperative patients can achieve positive orthodontic results. Occasionally before orthodontic treatment begins, there are necessary procedures that require your consent.

    PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING.

    EXTRACTIONS: Some cases will require the removal of deciduous (baby) teeth. If the extraction is performed in our office, any cost will be discussed with you prior to the extraction. If the extraction is referred to your regular dentist or oral surgeon, the financial responsibility will be between you and their office.


    LASER PROCEDURES: Occasionally laser treatment might be used to perform a frenectomy. A frenectomy is a surgical procedure that removes a frenulum, a small fold of tissue that contains muscle and connective tissue fibers. The frenulum can be located in several places on the body, including under the tongue, upper lip, and gums. The goal of the frenectomy is to improve range of motion or health and appearance. Additionally, laser treatment might also be used to improve the appearance of individual teeth by altering the shape and size of the gum tissue. Although very rare, damage to the oral tissue might result from laser treatment. This is generally a self-limiting short term injury that usually resolves without additional treatment. In rare circumstances, additional dental and/or medical treatment might be necessary. A topical anesthetic and/or local anesthetic will be applied to the gums before the procedure.


    ORTHODONTIC STAFF: Where appropriate, office staff may be directed to perform portions of appointments as prescribed and directed by Dr. Pool.


    DIAGNOSTC RECORDS: By consenting, you give permission to the making of any necessary orthodontic records, including but not limited to x-rays, before, during and following the provision of care.


    ALLERGIES: It is your responsibility to notify the office staff and/or doctor of any allergies to substances or medications that may be used for treatment. Occasionally, patients can be allergic to some of the component materials of their orthodontic appliances. This may require a change in treatment plan.
