Can I Complete My Orthodontic Treatment with Another Orthodontist?

It may have never crossed your mind before getting braces that you may have to change your orthodontist.

The Challenge of Moving and Continuing Orthodontic Treatment with Another Orthodontist

Many times, people must move to Florida in the middle of their orthodontic treatment. Whether you are moving to Stuart, Fort Pierce, or Port St. Lucie, Vero Beach, or Palm Bay, it is possible to complete your treatment. However, you should know about the potential challenges that come with the transfer process.

Different orthodontists follow slightly different techniques. The American Association of Orthodontics has created a system to address the challenges in this transfer.

Transfer of Financial Aspects

When you transfer your treatment to your new orthodontist, there will be a new contract and financial plan for you, covering the remaining components of your treatment.

Transfer of Treatment

Once you have initiated the transfer of treatment services, you should look for a great orthodontist near your home. We have five orthodontic offices in Stuart, Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, Vero Beach, and Palm Bay, Florida. Make sure to bring along your current records. Many patients have their prior records emailed before the initial consultation.

You should expect the following during your new consultation:

Your current braces may need to be replaced, or we can continue with what you have already. When you transfer to your new orthodontist, you may not have the same braces used by your old orthodontist. There is a general misconception that all treatments and braces are the same, but there are different types of braces.
