Once your orthodontic consultation wraps up, you might step out of the office wondering, “So, what happens next?” With Dr. Diana Bozner and the team at Camellia Orthodontics, the answer unfolds through a smooth, well-planned process that keeps everything clear from start to finish. First, let’s look at how your scans and photos from the consultation turn into the starting point for your orthodontic plan.
Turning Scans into a Custom Treatment Plan
As soon as your consultation wraps up, the process shifts from taking records to turning them into possibilities. Dr. Diana Bozner reviews your iTero scans and digital X-rays right there in the office, and walks you through what she sees and how different treatments could work for your needs. Seeing your scans in 3D helps you understand exactly how treatment can guide your smile over time.
After you’ve talked through your options, Dr. Diana Bozner finalizes a plan tailored to your goals, timeline, and daily routine. Patients across Lafayette appreciate that nothing feels uncertain and each stage of care is mapped out from the start.
Before we go any further, let’s take a quick look at the different treatment options available at Camellia Orthodontics.
Choosing Between Braces or Invisalign
This is the part where patients across Acadiana start picturing how their treatment will fit into daily life. Dr. Diana Bozner has walked you through each option, explaining how it looks, feels, and works, so it’s now your turn to decide. Some prefer the steady progress of braces, while others lean toward the flexibility of Invisalign trays that pop out for meals and brushing.
Here’s a closer look at each treatment option:
- Metal Braces: dependable and always working, perfect for those who like a “set it and forget it” approach.
- Clear Braces: just as effective but with a more subtle look that blends into your smile.
- Invisalign: nearly invisible and easy to remove, a favorite for busy adults and teens alike.
No matter which direction you choose, the decision feels exciting instead of stressful. Once your choice is made, the next step is getting your start date on the calendar and preparing for your first treatment appointment.
Setting Up Your Start Date
After you’ve chosen your treatment, the next step is getting your first treatment appointment on the calendar and preparing for that next big step. The Camellia Orthodontics team helps you pick a date that fits your routine, whether it’s right after work, between carpools, or before a weekend in downtown Lafayette. Families in Acadiana love how easy it is to plan ahead, thanks to:
- Flexible scheduling, including after-school options
- Two convenient locations in Lafayette and Opelousas
- Friendly reminders by text, phone, or email to keep everything running smoothly
Before that first appointment, the team shares a few simple tips to help you feel ready, like what to eat beforehand and what to expect during your first treatment visit. Once that date’s locked in, most families start thinking about payments and budgets, which is where Camellia Orthodontics keeps things refreshingly simple.
Reviewing Financial Options
Now that your start date is locked in, the focus shifts to making sure the financial side feels just as easy as the treatment itself. The process is relaxed, friendly, and designed to keep orthodontic care within reach for every Acadiana family.
A Clear Look at Costs
Because the practice follows a fee-for-service model, families always know exactly what’s included in their care. The team accepts dental insurance and helps patients make the most of their benefits, cutting out the confusion that usually comes with paperwork and claims.
Flexible Payment Paths
There’s more than one way to make orthodontic care fit your budget. Patients can choose interest-free, in-house financing with monthly plans that work around family schedules, or explore trusted third-party financing partners for added flexibility. The practice also accepts FSA and HSA funds, so families can use pre-tax savings toward treatment.
Making It Manageable
Across Lafayette, families appreciate how approachable this step feels. There’s no pressure or hidden fees, just clear communication and options that make orthodontics simple from the start!
Once finances are set, it’s time for the big moment: the first day of treatment.
The First Day of Treatment
Your first day of treatment is when all the planning comes to life. From the moment you walk in, the Camellia Orthodontics team makes sure you feel comfortable and confident about what’s ahead. The atmosphere is upbeat, with friendly faces ready to walk you through every step so you know exactly what’s happening.
- For Braces: Dr. Bozner carefully places each bracket and wire, adjusting everything with precision and care. You’ll see how the smallest details set your smile in motion.
- For Invisalign: You’ll try on your first set of aligners, learn how to take them in and out, and see your digital treatment plan in action.
Families across Lafayette and Opelousas often find this appointment much easier than expected. Now that you’re set up and comfortable, your next visits focus on keeping everything on track and celebrating how far you’ve come.
Staying on Track and Keeping Results Lasting
From the start of treatment, routine visits help Dr. Diana Bozner track progress, make adjustments, and keep everything moving on schedule. For Invisalign patients, progress checks help keep everything on track, while braces patients see steady results through routine adjustments and encouragement from the team.
When treatment wraps up, retainers step in to keep those results steady. Camellia Orthodontics provides simple, straightforward instructions for wear and care, making it easy to maintain your smile for years to come.
Every visit blends progress with personal care, the kind of attention Acadiana families have come to expect from Dr. Bozner and her team.
