The most common statement we hear at the front desk is “My child can’t miss school…” As parents ourselves, we understand the pressure students face to be present everyday, especially in middle school and high school. Because the majority of our patients are school-aged, we cannot promise that your child will never miss school due to an orthodontic appointment. We do try, however, to accommodate our patients’ schedules by providing both before and after school appointment times. The best way to secure popular after-school appointments is to schedule well in advance and keep your appointment!
