Every smile starts with an 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 whether treatment is necessary
• Help you create a customized treatment plan
• Be available to discuss all financial information, insurance options, and payment plans 

Our team will be glad to answer any questions you may have, and we will provide all of the information that you need to determine which treatment is right for you. Please contact our practice to schedule your initial consultation.

What happens after the initial consultation?

You're one step closer to achieving the smile you've always wanted! After your consultation,  we can schedule an appointment to take a full set of orthodontic records and then place your braces,fit for the appropriate orthodontic appliance as needed or do a digital scan for Invisalign This appointment generally takes about 60-90 minutes. During this time our team will  make sure that you are as comfortable as possible.

Visiting the dentist during orthodontic treatment

It is very important that you continue to visit your family dentist at least once every six months, even during your orthodontic treatment, for teeth cleanings and routine dental checkups. If extra dental care is needed, we will be happy to coordinate with your family dentist to make sure that you are receiving the best care possible.We keep your dentist regularly informed of planned treatment, ongoing progress and when you are finished with orthodontics.
