Office Visits

Dr. Peterman’s number-one goal is to give you the healthy, straight, and beautiful smile you’ve always wanted. He understands that choosing to receive orthodontic care is a big decision, and he respects your reasons for wanting to improve the way you look and feel.

Dr. Peterman and his team will work with you every step of the way to make sure your orthodontic care is as rewarding as possible. The practice utilizes the latest technology, and offers a variety of safe and gentle treatment options to give you the customized, individual care you deserve.

Every smile starts with an initial consultation!

Your initial consultation will give you the opportunity to get to know Dr. Peterman and his team, learn more about orthodontics, receive a complete initial exam, and find out which treatment options will best meet your needs. Your initial consultation will include:

Review of your dental and medical history
A complete oral exam to determine whether treatment is necessary
Creation of a customized treatment plan
Should treatment be indicated, time will be set aside to take diagnostic records, including a digital scan, photographs, and radiographs.

The team will be glad to answer any questions you may have, and will provide all the information you need to determine which treatment is right for you. Please contact the office to schedule your initial consultation.

What happens after the initial consultation?

You’re one step closer to achieving the look you’ve always wanted! Dr. Peterman will thoroughly analyze the diagnostic records, then schedule a virtual conference with you to discuss treatment options, benefits, and fees, and answer any questions you may have.

Scheduling appointments

Visiting our office about every four to eight weeks is an essential part of your orthodontic treatment. Dr. Peterman’s staff will work with you to make sure your appointments are as convenient as possible. When scheduling appointments, please let us know which days and times work best for you.

Dr. Peterman and his team understand that “life happens.” If you’re running late or need to reschedule, please let us know and we will do everything we can to accommodate you. When you’re ready to schedule your first appointment, contact the practice and a team member will assist you. We look forward to working with you.

Visiting the dentist during orthodontic treatment

It is vital that you continue to visit your family dentist once every six months for teeth cleanings and routine dental checkups, even during your orthodontic treatment. If extra dental care is needed, a team member will be happy to coordinate with your family dentist to make sure you receive the best possible care.

My son got braces a month ago and we couldn't be happier. Extremely professional whilst keeping a ver personal care for their patients.The entire staff is beyond hospitable and clearly know what they are doing.One of their advantages is their location in Chatham which is incredibly convenient, specially in emergencies and follow up appointments.
Dr JB Peterman is both knowledgable and experienced. He explains the whole process in detail and is always happy to answer any questions and respond to urgencies.

They welcomed us with positive energy and caring hearts every single visit. My son was not initially thrilled with the idea of braces, but they made it so fun and treated all of us like we were the only people in the office. He has a perfect smile just in time for Senior Pictures! And, now I get to start my journey too!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a great experience with Dr. Peterman and his amazing staff, Bree and Christian. Everyone was incredibly friendly, caring, and understanding from the moment I walked in. I needed to have my braces removed for my upcoming journey with the Navy, and to my surprise, Dr. Peterman himself was a former naval officer! He shared some great advice and made me feel confident and comfortable about the next steps ahead.
I truly appreciate the professionalism and kindness shown by the entire team — they go above and beyond for their patients. Highly recommend Dr. Peterman and his staff to anyone looking for quality orthodontic care!

The office is impeccably clean, welcoming and comfortable. I was seated for my appointment promptly, and Dr Peterman helped me understand my orthodontic problems very concisely and offered me different options to achieve my goals. The office is also on the cutting edge of the latest and greatest technology like 3D printing so I didn’t have to take those awful impressions. Dr Peterman is incredibly kind, trustworthy, knowledgeable and just an overall good guy. If you or a family member need to pursue orthodontic care Dr Peterman is who you need to see!!!
