Your First Visit With Dr. Cari

We like to put our patients completely at ease from the moment they enter our door. We keep the lines of communication open, so please feel free to call us with questions at any time before or during your treatment.

Our treatment coordinator will explain our policies and get the patient set up in a private room. Dr. Cari sees each prospective patient personally and does an oral exam himself. He will then review the results of your free panoramic X-ray with you, which takes a comprehensive snapshot of your jaws and helps guide our treatment recommendations.

If treatment is advised, we will make sure that all of your financial questions are answered before you leave. Be assured that we accept many insurance plans and offer payment options to make affording orthodontic treatment as painless as possible.

This first visit is entirely free. Our Chadds Ford patients keep referring their friends and families because of the stellar care we deliver here at Cari Orthodontics!

Chadds Ford Families Trust Dr. Cari When It’s Time to See an Orthodontist

Early intervention is important to get the most out of your orthodontic treatment, so call one of our convenient offices as soon as you notice any signs of misalignment in your child’s mouth. Some of our patients are as young as 7 years old—and that’s not too early!

Here are some of the conditions that can be treated by an orthodontist:

• A “deep” bite (upper front teeth cover too much of the lower teeth)
• Protruding upper front teeth
• Underbite
• Crowded teeth
• Overlapping teeth
• Open bite
• Problems with chewing
• Misaligned jaw
• Spaces between teeth
• Damage from excessive thumb sucking

A bright and perfect smile is essential in today’s image-driven world, so call us now to get an early diagnosis to give your child the best possible start in life.

What Can I Expect With Orthodontic Treatment?

The goal of orthodontics is to align the teeth and make them fit properly with each other, which is a health issue as well as an aesthetic issue. Straight teeth are less likely to create secondary dental problems into middle and old age.

Our office offers a variety of treatments that are efficient and cost effective as well. Dr. Cari and staff will recommend the best treatment for you and your family after taking all of the variables into consideration.

Orthodontic devices exert steady, slow pressure on your teeth in order to correct the alignment and positions of teeth. Expanders, aligners, and braces are some of the options that we recommend to create an attractive set of pearly whites!

It typically takes between one and two years to create the perfect smile. We’ll discuss your situation more specifically on your first visit. It’s important to keep all of your orthodontic appointments in order to accomplish your goals as quickly as possible. With two locations that are within short distance of Chadds Ford, we make it easy for you to get to us.
