Office Policies

Las Vegas Orthodontic Care

At the UNLV Orthodontic Clinic, we believe everyone deserves a healthy, beautiful smile. Our residents provide high-quality orthodontic care under the direct supervision of our board-certified, highly trained faculty as part of their education. This approach allows us to deliver the same level of expert care available from any orthodontist—at a fraction of the cost. Our office policies make it possible for many Las Vegas residents to improve or restore their oral health with confidence.

Appointment Policy 

Your appointments are an essential part of your orthodontic treatment plan. We allocate a specific amount of time for each patient to allow for adjustments, education, and consultation. Arriving on time is important, as it can be difficult to complete all necessary tasks if the full appointment time is not available. Patients who arrive more than 15 minutes late may need to reschedule their appointment.

We request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations. While we understand that emergencies and unexpected circumstances can arise, giving advance notice helps us better serve all of our patients.

*Treatment of Minors

**If your child is under 18 years old, a parent or guardian must be present before treatment can begin and remain in the reception area during the entire visit.

If a minor is accompanied by someone other than a parent or legal guardian, a Power of Attorney or notarized letter from the parent or guardian must be on file before the minor can be seen by an Orthodontic Resident or Faculty member.

Insurance Policy

At the UNLV Orthodontic Clinic, we work to help our patients make the most of their insurance benefits. We can provide good-faith estimates for most insurance plans, but we cannot guarantee coverage. Insurance contracts vary by patient, and specific treatment options may or may not be covered under each plan.

If you have a new insurance plan or a change in coverage, please inform us so we can update our records and provide the most accurate information.
