YOUR SMILE JOURNEY STARTS WITH A CONSULTATION

During the consultation you will receive an initial exam to determine your needs, review your medical history, discuss your care options, decide what is best for you and create an individualized treatment plan. During your consultation, we'll talk you through the entire process, allow you to ask questions and give you the information you need to make a decision.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE CONSULTATION?

Congratulations! You’ve taken the first step toward having a beautiful, new smile! Now, it’s time to take the next steps in your journey.

1. The doctor will develop a treatment plan specific to your needs
2. After a decision has been made, we’ll make an appointment to place your braces
3. We discuss your oral care and how to maintain your braces
4. We make sure you’re comfortable
5. Schedule your first follow-up appointment
6. Finally, we let you go home and rest!

SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS

Visiting the orthodontist about every four to eight weeks is an important part of your orthodontic treatment. Our practice will work with you to make sure your appointments are as convenient as possible. When scheduling appointments, please let us know which days and times work best for you. 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’re looking forward to working with you.

VISITING THE DENTIST AFTER TREATMENT

It is very important that you continue to visit your family dentist once every six months for teeth cleanings and routine dental checkups, even during your orthodontic treatment. If extra dental care is needed, we will be happy to coordinate with your family dentist to make sure you receive the best possible care.
