PATIENT’S RESPONSIBILITIES
The patient (including his/her parents / guardians) is held responsible for the
maintenance of his/her gingival and periodontal health for the duration of the treatment.
Proper tooth brushing, flossing, etc. are mandatory. Adequate oral hygiene education will be
given to the patient and his parents. Should the patient exhibit gingival irritation and or
inflammation due to improper hygiene, active treatment will be discontinued. Proper therapy
shall be performed and the patient will be billed correspondingly.
The patient must strictly follow appointments. The length of treatment will be
affected tremendously should the patient miss his/her appointment. If the patient fails to
come after four (4) consecutive missed appointments or after two (2) months of absence
the treatment plan will be altered. Should the patient wish to continue, a new fee will be
structured to conform to the new treatment plan. If the patient wishes to discontinue, all
previous fees will be forfeited in favor of the dentist.
Appointments are usually made 3-4 weeks after each visit. Should the patient wish to
move the appointments, it should be done at least 24 hours prior to appointment.

Orthodontic fees consist of an initial fee and monthly payments to complete the total
orthodontic fee for a particular case. The orthodontic fee covers all orthodontic materials
and procedure for a particular plan only. Lost or damage brackets, molar/buccal tubes, etc.

not included in orthodontic fees.

I understand what the problem is and the reason for the treatment. The alternatives have also
been explained to me, one of which is no treatment and the possible result if nothing is done. The
treatment plan and the type of appliances to be used have been explained to me. I also understand that
good oral hygiene at home is important to prevent staining and decalcification of teeth and that in some
patients, temporomandibular joint problems may occur.
