How to become a patient
Who can become a patient?
We treat patients of any age, including children, teenagers and adults. When you begin treatment depends on the growth and development of the jaw as well as the stage of tooth eruption. We also have many adult patients in our clinic who have chosen to pursue orthodontic treatment later in life.
Be aware
We only accept patients that have excellent oral hygiene.
How to become a patient
Patients are accepted by referral only. Please ask your dentist to complete the oral hygiene/restorative clearance form and submit the completed form to uofmortho@umanitoba.ca.
Considerations before applying to be a patient
Wait list
Our services typically have a wait list. When you reach the top of the list, you will be notified of your appointment time and supplied with paperwork that must be completed and brought with you. You may have to wait six to nine months before receiving that first appointment.
Teaching needs
The Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry is an educational facility. If the care you need does not fit the teaching requirements of our program, you may not be accepted as a patient.
Clinic hours
Our clinics operate during the daytime within standard business hours. If missing school or work for appointments is not an option, a private practice might suit your needs better.
Flexibility
Clinics operate on a limited schedule. For example, one clinic may only be offered on alternating Tuesdays, while another is limited to one Monday each month. Based on your clinic assignment, there will only be certain days we can schedule your appointments, with the exception of emergencies. Flexibility is a must for all patients.
