WELCOME TO OUR PRACTICE

At Pawley Orthodontics honesty, innovation, uncompromising standards & exceptional results are the hallmarks of our practice. Each aspect of our work is grounded in a tradition of excellence and an unshakable commitment to integrity. With that very conviction and ethic foremost in mind, consistently achieving exceptional patient results and treatment experiences has become the rule. For these reasons, as well as our unique commitment to conservative, 'patient-first' (as opposed to 'profit-first') recommendations, Pawley Orthodontics is honored to be regarded as the orthodontic practice of choice in the many communities we serve and has been named the "Best Orthodontic Practice in the San Gabriel Valley" multiple years as selected by the readers of the Star News & Tribune Newspapers. Unfortunately, high standards of care, scruples, and integrity are becoming increasingly difficult to find in our specialty, while greed-driven over-diagnosis, 'bill-padding' with unnecessary treatment phases or appliances, and deceptive, high pressure sales tactics (all usually consistant with low quality results) have sadly become commonplace.

Our creed is to provide our family of orthodontic patients such outstanding service, quality, value, and results that we may be worthy of your high esteem. We pride ourselves on our cutting-edge, innovative techniques and unparalleled standard of care. Gone are the days when frequent, monthly visits to the orthodontist were required. Fortunately, you are no longer limited by geographic distance from your preferred orthodontist, thanks to our investment in & mastery of low-force, 'band-less' braces combined with gentle, shape-memory arch wires which routinely only require adjustments once every six to twelve weeks. We invite you to come discover the exceptional level of service your friends are talking about at Pawley Orthodontics and experience for yourself the 'next-generation' of orthodontic care, delivered with an 'old-fashioned' work ethic! -Jamison J Pawley & Team

Rest assured, Dr. Pawley is a specialist of integrity and does not ever recommend orthodontic treatment unless there exists a genuine patient benefit. In fact, for the vast majority of children he sees, he does not recommend early or two-phase approach to treatment; which sadly occurs in a majority of other orthodontic offices where monetary gain, and not what is simply best or healthiest for the patient prevails. We strive to always clearly define your potential treatment needs and recommendations through descriptive verbal messaging combined with impactful, plasma screen visuals utilizing individualized smart-board technology.

If we find treatment is indeed necessary, information regarding the anticipated length and estimated cost of treatment will be provided, as well as an explanation of the necessary orthodontic records Dr. Pawley requires to formally and accurately establish his definitive treatment plan. Once orthodontic records are secured at our office for your convenience, utlizing modern 3D iCAT & digital photographic technology, and Dr. Pawley has studied, diagnosed, and treatment planned each individual case, he will meet with you for a detailed discussion of findings, before braces are placed. For those patients with orthodontic insurance, we will verify benefits and take care of all insurance billings to help minimize your benefit concerns. Sincerely, from our entirely honest treatment recommendations, to our superior quality bracket & retainer selections, to our resultant routinely exceptional completed finishes, we pride ourselves on not cutting any corners what-so-ever from beginning to end! Our experienced and friendly treatment coordinator will personally assist you and your family in facilitating a seamless transition from complimentary initial consultation, to the commencement of treatment. We will be honored to provide you with an exceptional orthodontic treatment experience & result; one that will exceed your expectations & keep you smiling for a life-time!

Insurance

HOW DOES ORTHODONTIC INSURANCE WORK?

There are many different agreements between insurance carriers and their subscribers, and each contract provides a different benefit. However, orthodontic insurance generally differs from regular dental insurance in that each insured individual usually has a lifetime maximum benefit for orthodontic services. This benefit is paid as a percentage of the orthodontic fee (diagnostic records, initial fee, monthly payments, etc.) until the benefit maximum has been reached. Charges for lost or broken appliances may not be covered by insurance.

HOW DOES THIS OFFICE ASSIST YOU WITH INSURANCE?

For your convenience, we will gladly assist you in submitting both predetermination and initial insurance claims pertaining to charges for care rendered in our office. However, please be aware that our primary financial relationship is with our patients or their families and not with their respective insurance companies. Final responsibility for collection of benefits from your insurance company rests with the insured party.

Know what your benefits are before treatment starts. If you are not sure, contact your insurance company so that you know exactly how much you can expect to be paid.

If desired, we will submit a pretreatment claim for determination of benefits for you.

For your convenience, we will accept payments from your insurance company assigned to us by the insured.

The Right Age

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that an orthodontist first see a child as early as age 7 and even earlier if a parent or the family dentist discovers a problem. The timing of orthodontic treatment is extremely important and greatly affects the treatment result. Since no two patients are alike, there is not a specific age that is best to begin treatment.

Early diagnosis and treatment by a specialist can help guide facial and skeletal growth and tooth eruption, to prevent more serious problems from developing. Our goal is to reduce treatment time in full braces and to provide the best and most stable results possible. Early treatment by an orthodontic specialist provides a method of managing a difficult orthodontic problem that is frequently easier on a child.

While people tend to associate orthodontics with children, over 25% of orthodontic patients are adults. Today's less noticeable braces have contributed to this increase in popularity. New techniques and materials now allow extended intervals between appointments to make treatment more convenient than ever. Adults of all ages can fully appreciate the return on an orthodontic investment: a great smile, improved self-confidence and overall better dental health.

The Damon System of advanced passive self-ligating brackets, high-tech light-force archwires and minimally invasive treatment protocols provides remarkable advantages for both doctor and patient.
