Getting Started
Every smile starts with an initial consultation!
Our greatest goal is to give you a healthy, straight, beautiful smile. We understand that choosing to receive orthodontic care is a big decision, and we respect your reasons for wanting to improve the way you look and feel. Our practice will work with you every step of the way to make sure that your orthodontic care is as rewarding as possible.
Please contact our practice to schedule your initial consultation.
Your initial consultation will give you the opportunity to meet our team, learn more about orthodontics, receive a complete initial exam, and find out which treatment options will best meet your needs. During your initial consultation, we will:
- Review your dental and medical history forms
- Provide a complete oral exam, with X-rays, to determine if treatment is necessary
- Help you create a customized treatment plan
- Discuss all financial information and payment plans
What happens after the initial consultation?
You’re one step closer to achieving the smile you’ve always wanted! After your consultation, we will schedule your first appointment, this is where our team will place your new orthodontic appliance(s). Depending on the treatment chosen, this appointment will generally take an hour, and during this time, our team will be available to make sure that you are as comfortable as possible.
Scheduling Appointments
Visiting the orthodontist about every four to twelve weeks is an important part of your orthodontic treatment. Our practice will work with you to make sure that your appointments are as convenient as possible.
We understand that “life happens”! If you’re running late or need to reschedule, please let us know and we will do everything we can to accommodate you.
When you’re ready to schedule your first appointment, contact our practice and our friendly scheduling coordinator will assist you. We look forward to working with you.
Visiting the Dentist during Orthodontic Treatment
It is very important that you continue to visit your family dentist once every six months, even during your orthodontic treatment. Routine dental checkups allow your dentist to monitor the health of your gums and teeth and address any concerns if necessary. If extra dental care is needed, we will be happy to coordinate with your family dentist to make sure that you receive the care you need.
