GETTING STARTED WITH MRC CLINICS®

Getting started

Choosing to proceed with any sort of Orthodontic treatment is a big decision, and not just because of the financial investment.

Find out how to get started with MRC Clinics® in these easy steps:

Step 1: Information and education

Setup a time to attend a free group education session by a trained Oral Health Therapist, or organize an individual consultation (fee applies). To register for the next group education session click the register button at the top of this page.

Attending the group education session will improve your understanding of the causes of crooked teeth and poor jaw development. With this knowledge, you can make a decision whether to wait for braces or have MRC Clinics® evaluate your child or children.

Step 2: Record taking

To properly assess your child, study models, photographs, x-rays and possibly videos of the teeth, face and posture will be required.

After reviewing and evaluating these records your Doctor will write a detailed treatment plan with the exact fee structure specific for your child.

This information will then be presented to both the parent and child at the Evaluation Consultation.

Step 3: Evaluation consultation

With models of the teeth, photos, and x-rays to determine the stage of tooth eruption and jaw development, all available information is presented to the parent and child, and the written treatment plan with options and possible difficulties is discussed.

Any questions about the treatment can be raised. An exact fee structure will be presented at this stage. Treatment fees will vary depending on the number of visits, and how quickly the child responds to the treatment and application of the activities.

Step 4: Choosing your options

OPTION 1: START THE PROPOSED MYOFUNCTIONAL TREATMENT
Myofunctional orthodontic treatment with the TRAINER™, i-3™ or MYOBRACE® can commence immediately. The child will be given detailed instruction on how to use the appropriate appliance.

OPTION 2: GET A SECOND OPINION
If you are unsure, it is best to choose this option, and particularly discuss compliance with your child.
