Initial Visit and Examination:

Your first visit provides an opportunity to discuss your concerns and have your questions addressed. Importantly, this clinical consultation is conducted personally by Dr Lourens Pretorius, ensuring that your assessment is performed at a specialist level rather than delegated to staff members.

During this appointment, Dr Pretorius performs a preliminary evaluation to determine whether treatment is indicated and, if so, the appropriate timing. This visit provides valuable insight into your orthodontic needs and forms the foundation for informed decision-making.

Diagnostic Records and Full Evaluation

If treatment is required, a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation will be completed, either on the same day or at a scheduled follow-up appointment. This includes:

• Intra- and extra-oral photographs
• Radiographs (X-rays)
• Study models (impressions or digital scans)

These records allow for a detailed assessment of the teeth, jaws, and facial structures, enabling Dr Pretorius to develop a precise and individualised treatment plan.
