Different Kind of Practice, Different Kind of Treatment
At McNutt Orthodontics, we offer advanced treatments and an artistic, craftsman approach to modern orthodontics. We also believe that who is moving your teeth is much more important than what.
Dr. Matthew and his expert team use their industry-leading expertise, skill, and decision-making to help you get the healthy, straighter smile and quality of life you deserve.
X-Rays & Radiographs: Panorex
A panorex X-ray is a standard part of most orthodontic exams. Sometimes the general family dentist has already taken one on the patient.
In the event you do not have a direct referral to us from your family dentist, please request a copy of any panorex X-rays one file for the patient. A high-resolution copy emailed to you can be then forwarded to us. Please contact us here.
- Please note that by law (NC Board of Dental Examiners), you are entitled to a copy of your X-rays from the family dentist or another orthodontist without having to sign a records release form, as long as they practice in the state of NC.
- By law, you only need to verbally request (the law does not require you to be in person) a copy, and you can request that it be sent directly to us.
- In the event that you are told that you or your child’s dental records won’t be released to you without a signed records release form, please understand that this is not legal.
- For help or more information, refer to the contact information for the NC Board of Dental Examiners.
Retainer Replacement Form
Here is a digital form for patients who need a retainer replacement or possibly a repair of their retainer. For most retainer replacements, we will have the retainer made from a 3D-printed model of your teeth. If you do not already have a 3D-printed model (we started making these available to patients after treatment starting in 2021), we will scan your teeth with our 3D camera system and use our in-house 3D printer to create the model.
- FOR OUR EXISTING PATIENTS: Complete our digital form and submit it. If you do not hear back from us by the end of the next business day, please call the office.
- FOR PATIENTS WE DID NOT PROVIDE TREATMENT FOR: We charge an evaluation fee that is paid in advance of scheduling, and we require that you complete and submit this form. If you do not hear back from us by the end of the next business day, please call the office.
- We are able to provide retainer replacements, and we are able to repair most but not all types of permanent bonded wire retainers.
- BRING YOUR RETAINERS & MODELS: Bring ALL your existing retainers and 3D-printed models of your teeth to your evaluation appointment
