At Nationwide Children’s Hospital, the health and safety of our patients, families and staff has always been our top priority and it continues during this COVID pandemic.

To keep everyone as safe as possible, please see the changes we’ve made.

• Any visitor accompanying the patient to an appointment should be feeling well, should not have a recent exposure to COVID-19, and should not be under isolation for a positive COVID-19 test
• Complete the eCheck-in (Registration process) in MyChart on your phone or device.
• Call (614) 355-3750, Option 8 with MyChart questions

Call the clinic today if:

• In the past 10 days, the patient tested positive for COVID-19
• The patient is under quarantine due to close contact with someone who has COVID-19? (Includes notices by the health department or exposures occurring in the household, school/daycare, workplace, or other community setting.)
• In the past 24 hours, the patient has had symptoms of COVID such as fever or cough

Please save this message until after your appointment because it includes instructions for the day of your appointment.

• We have decided what orthodontic problems we are going to treat. We will put the braces on in one or two appointments. Your child will also have orthodontic wires and maybe some rubber bands placed on the teeth.
• Your child will have appointments every 4 to 6 weeks. Our team will tell you how long we think treatment will last.
• Patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Please bring any applicable guardianship paperwork to the visit.
• Please bring the patient's insurance card to every visit.
• Please arrive 15 minutes early. Patients who are late for their scheduled appointment may be asked to reschedule for a future date.
• Cancellation policy: If you are unable to keep your appointment, a 24 hour notice is required.
• It is important to keep these appointments so we can complete your child's treatment. We will stop treatment and take off the braces if there are several cancelled or broken appointments.
