WHAT TO EXPECT
At Maduke-Bulat, we are committed to making your entire orthodontic experience as easy and stress-free as possible.
When you come in to our Surrey office for your first visit, it's natural to be a little nervous. We'll do our best to put you at ease, and discuss some options and results in a no-pressure, friendly way. We want this initial visit to be helpful to you and your family dentist so be sure to let us know any special concerns you'd like us to address. This initial visit is provided free of charge.
The examination appointment is designed to answer a few basic questions that most patients and parents have when talking with an orthodontist.
Is there a problem that would benefit from orthodontic treatment?
What is the best treatment to correct this problem?
What is the estimated length of treatment?
When is the best time to begin treatment?
What are the costs of orthodontic treatments, and what financial arrangements are available?
If treatment is indicated, we will need to take diagnostic records to determine the best approach. These would consist of plaster study moulds of the teeth as well as x-rays and photos of your face and teeth. Most times we can accommodate a records appointment within this initial consultation if required. Please call our front desk staff to arrange an appointment.
During the course of treatment at Maduke-Bulat, we encourage patients to regularly visit our Surrey office with their families, parents and siblings to observe and support the process.

The Invisalign system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth. Best of all, no one can tell you're wearing them. It's a way to get the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted without braces.

retainers
Retainers play an important role in improving the appearance of teeth and may be removable or fixed, depending on the patient's need. They hold teeth in their new, corrected position after your teeth have been straightened.
