What if I need to stop partway through?+
Let the clinic know as early as possible. It is wise to ask before starting which phases hold up alone and which rely on further treatment, since stopping can have different effects at different points.
How many appointments are we talking about?+
That depends completely on the treatments you need, so a number cannot be given before your assessment. Ask for a breakdown by phase once your records have been reviewed.
Could the plan be spread out over a longer period?+
Often phasing can reflect your schedule and finances. Certain steps are time-sensitive, though, so it is worth asking what each delay could mean before deciding on a slower pace.
Will treatment disrupt my work?+
Some visits and healing periods may need more planning than others. Mention your work demands early and ask what to expect from any particular stage before you book it.
Could the timeline change after we start?+
Yes. A plan can change depending on how teeth, gums and bite respond, and new information could lengthen or shorten a stage. You can review any changes as they come up.
