What to Expect at Your First Visit

Welcome to Your Initial Orthodontic Consultation!

We are delighted to welcome you to our office for your first visit. This important appointment will include an X-ray, photographs, and a comprehensive oral examination. Gathering this essential information during your one-hour consultation enables our team to determine the most effective treatment options for your unique needs.

Understanding Your Orthodontic Treatment

During your initial orthodontic examination, we will address the following key questions to provide a thorough understanding of your orthodontic treatment:

• Is there a condition that orthodontics can address?
• Is treatment needed now or should it be delayed until appropriate growth, tooth eruption, or other factors have occurred?
• What treatment procedures will be used to correct the problem?
• Do any permanent teeth need to be removed?
• How long will treatment take?
• What are the costs associated with treatment?
• What payment options are available?

Your Clear Understanding is Our Priority

Our goal is to ensure that you leave your initial examination with a clear understanding of your specific orthodontic needs, the proposed treatment plan, and the anticipated duration of treatment. We believe that in-depth planning leads to superior results and higher patient satisfaction.
