Coronavirus Update

Orthodontic Treatment in the Era of COVID-19

Thank you for your continued trust in our practice. As with the transmission of any communicable disease like a cold or the flu, you may be exposed to COVID-19, also known as "Coronavirus", at any time or in any place. Be assured that we have always followed state and federal regulations and recommended universal personal protection and disinfection protocols to limit transmission of all diseases in our office and continue to do so.

Despite our careful attention to sterilization, disinfection, and use of personal barriers, there is still a chance that you could be exposed to an illness in our office, just as you might be at your gym, grocery store, or favorite restaurant. Due to the nature of the procedures we provide, it is not possible to maintain social distancing between the patient, orthodontist, orthodontic staff and sometimes other patients at all times.

Before your appointment:

If you have symptoms of COVID-19 or close contact of a person with COVID-19 recently, please call our office at 212-966-9628.
Please brush your teeth before visiting.
Please limit the number of people you bring to the appointment.
Face covering is optional but encouraged.

Thanks for your cooperation!

感謝您一直以來對我們診所的信任。任何傳染性疾病（如感冒或流感）的傳播都一樣，您可能隨時隨地都暴露於COVID-19（也稱為 “冠狀病毒” ）。請放心，我們始終遵循州和聯邦法規，並一直堅持採用通用的個人防護和消毒規程，以限制我們辦公室中所有疾病的傳播。

儘管我們非常注意滅菌，消毒和使用個人防護服進行隔離，但是您仍然有可能在我們的辦公室中接觸到病菌，就像您在健身房，雜貨店或最喜歡的餐廳一樣。由於我們提供服務的性質，因此無法始終保持患者，牙齒矯正醫生，牙齒矯正醫護人員之間以及有時其他患者之間的社交距離。

感覺不舒服或者接觸過新冠病人請致電診所電話212－966－9628確定預約。
請盡量減少陪同人員數目。
預約到達前請自行完成刷牙。
建议配戴口罩但不要求。

谢谢您的配合！
