What is it? Wooden nickels are tokens that are earned for excellent patient cooperation. It is a motivational program for kids and adults that helps make orthodontics fun and successful.
How does it work? At each regularly scheduled treatment appointment, a wooden nickel may be earned for each objective completed. Emergency visits do not count.
It is the patient’s responsibility to keep up with their wooden nickels earned; they will not be replaced if lost.
Services that do not earn wooden nickels include: exams, record taking, consultations, observation appointments, repairs, emergency appointments or retention visits.
Wooden nickels will be earned for the following:
Having excellent oral hygiene = 1 nickel Arriving for your appointments on time = 1 nickel Wearing your elastics, headgear, removable appliance as instructed = 1 nickel Keeping appliances and braces from breaking = 1 nickel Bonus: an additional wooden nickel for making school honor roll Bonus: an additional wooden nickel for wearing your Mission City Orthodontics T shirt
