Implement the seven-day rule for new patients. New patients should be seen for consultation within seven days after contacting the office. Once treatment is accepted, patients should be scheduled within seven days. This approach will help ortho practices maintain a steady flow of new patients. When parents or adult patients have to wait too long for treatment to begin, many will postpone care or decide to shop for another ortho practice.
