Common questions
What Fort Wayne Parents Ask Us Most
Dr. Bussick and the American Association of Orthodontists recommend children be seen by age 7. Early detection of many orthodontic problems can help avoid more extensive treatment later.
It is not necessary to have a referral from your dentist; however, most dentists will make a referral at the first indication that treatment may be needed. In addition, many of our patients are referred by friends, co-workers, and neighbors.
Braces have changed significantly over the last several years. Thanks to technology, today’s braces are smaller and more comfortable than braces in the past. As a patient, you may experience some discomfort after certain visits; however, pain relievers such as Advil or Tylenol can help alleviate the pain.
Every smile is different, so the best way to know your cost is a new patient exam with Dr. Bussick. You’ll leave with a clear plan and know exactly what to expect. We offer interest-free payment plans, work directly with your insurance, and accept HSA and FSA cards, so cost doesn’t have to stand in the way.
