How to Transfer Your Orthodontic Treatment
Can you transfer orthodontists during braces or clear aligner treatment? In most cases, yes. Transferring orthodontists after a PCS is simpler than you might expect.
Step 1: Notify Your Current Orthodontist
Once you receive your PCS orders and know you’ll be relocating, tell your current orthodontist. Their team can prepare your treatment records, X-rays, photographs, and other relevant information for transfer.
Step 2: Schedule Your Complimentary Consultation
Schedule a complimentary consultation with Bocklet Orthodontics and let us know that you’re transferring during active treatment.
Our doctors will evaluate your smile, review your progress, and explain the recommended next steps. If your records haven’t arrived yet, our team can help coordinate with your previous orthodontist whenever possible.
Step 3: Receive Your Personalized Treatment Plan
Orthodontists may use different appliances, techniques, and treatment systems. We’ll carefully assess what has already been completed and create a plan tailored to your current needs.
Our goal is to preserve your progress and continue treatment as efficiently as possible.
