Orthodontic appliances are composed of very small parts that could be accidentally swallowed, aspirated (inhaled), impacted and could irritate or damage the oral tissues. If unsure of the location or if the object is inhaled or ingested, a chest x-ray may be required to isolate the object. The undersigned authorizes all forms of treatment including separators, bands, and braces with knowledge and understanding of the risks. This shall remain in force and effective until canceled by either party. All fees for services rendered are due at the conclusion of each appointment unless other financial arrangements have been made.
