At Wigal Orthodontics, we know you have a lot to think about when it comes to considering braces for yourself or a member of your family. This is why we make every effort to deliver honest, concise, and transparent information so that you understand the process and expectations associated with treatment. As you prepare for your family’s first appointment at our Columbus office, please take a few minutes to review the following details and call us if you have any questions.

Your First Orthodontic Visit

The moment you arrive at our Columbus office, a member of our team will be ready to welcome you with a warm and friendly smile. After completing your paperwork, we will take you on a tour of our office so that you or your child can be introduced to our team. We’ll end the tour in either Dr. Wigal or Dr. Kluemper’s office, as the next step will involve discussing the reason for your appointment. A thorough examination of your mouth will occur before going over the various treatment options you can choose from.

Once you feel more confident about the type of care you or your child can expect to receive as well as the treatment we recommend, we will discuss the various financial options that are available before escorting you to our front desk to schedule your next appointment.

We encourage you to ask any questions that you might have as well as express any concerns. We’re here to make sure your experience is the very best.

Patient Forms

When it comes to orthodontic appointments, we want to make sure the majority of your time is spent with our team, not filling out paperwork in the waiting area. This is why we encourage you to download our patient forms below, print them out, complete them at home, and bring them with you to your appointment. This will make it easier for us to quickly enter the information into our system when you arrive so that you can be escorted to a treatment room in a timely manner. If you have trouble accessing any of the forms below, call and let us know.

Wigal Orthodontics is pleased to welcome your dental insurance, as we know this can help lower your out-of-pocket expenses. Although each plan is different, you can count on our team to review your policy and suggest ways to maximize your available benefits. We consider ourselves experts when it comes to dental insurance, so you can trust that we will always do our best to answer your questions, explain your coverage, and help you save each time you visit our office.

CareCredit Financing Available

If the cost of treatment is too high for you to pay out of pocket, you have the option of enrolling in flexible financing through CareCredit. With low-and-no-interest payment plans available, you can choose a plan that aligns with your budget and timeframe, making it easy to pay off treatment over time instead of all upfront. If you need help to start the process, just ask a member of our team and we’ll point you in the right direction.
