Treatment Terminated Due To Non-Compliance: Orthodontic treatment requires the full cooperation of the patient and/or responsible party with the orthodontist to achieve a successful outcome. If Dr. Glenn Krieger determines that the patient (or responsible party) is unable or unwilling to cooperate with instructions or fails to listen, understand or comply with treatment instructions, office policies, or other obligations, then Dr. Glenn Krieger reserves the right to terminate orthodontic treatment due to non-compliance. Termination for noncompliance may be the result of the patient and/or responsible parties behavior, but it may also result from parental failure to supervise a child’s care at home, to attend orthodontic visits with the child, and to ensure that all oral hygiene and other instructions are understood and complied with. Dr. Glenn Krieger reserves the right to terminate at any point without explanation, details, or consultation.
Treatment Terminated Due To Non-Payment: If Dr. Glenn Krieger terminates your treatment for non-payment, we will (1) cancel any payment plan you are under; (2) bill your insurance for any outstanding balance, if applicable; (3) remove your braces at your request or transfer your case to a qualified Orthodontist at your request; (4) cancel all future appointments with us; (5) assess an early termination fee, if applicable.
Treatment Terminated Due To Poor Oral Hygiene: If the patient does not maintain good oral hygiene, Dr. Glenn Krieger will first seek to show you how to do a better job. If you are still unable to maintain good oral hygiene, Dr. Glenn Krieger, may, in his sole discretion, remove the orthodontic appliances, and end the treatment for your own health and safety- poor hygiene is especially detrimental to teeth undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Treatment Termination for Clinical Mistrust: Dr. Glenn Krieger reserves the right to terminate treatment at any point if the patient, responsible party, or any parent, relative or other person associated with the patient, adopts any posture or uses any language that the orthodontist deems threatening, insulting, discriminatory or offensive towards the orthodontist, staff, and/or practice. Such behavior violates the trust and cordial relationship that is necessary between patient and clinician and will result in termination of the orthodontic treatment plan.
