New Patients
Our goal is to provide you with a pleasant experience while we give you a healthy, beautiful, straight smile. We know that it is a big decision to pursue orthodontic treatment, and we respect your dedication to improving the way you look and feel. It is our mission to personally work with you every step of the way to ensure your orthodontic experience with us is as rewarding as possible. We have invested in the latest technologies and techniques to provide you with care you and your family deserve.
INITIAL CONSULTATION
Every smile starts with a complimentary initial consultation. You’ll meet our team, tour our office, receive a complete example and discuss which orthodontic treatment options will best suit your needs. Your consultation will include:
- Complete oral exam
- Review of medical and dental history
- Photographs and X-rays
- Customized orthodontic treatment options
- Discussion of insurance and financial information
- Discussion of all available payment plans
BEGINNING TREATMENT
At your next office visit, we will either be placing the braces or taking a scan (mold) of your teeth for Invisalign, a retainer or a nightguard. This visit takes about an hour, and we will take the time to ensure you have a positive and comfortable experience.
APPOINTMENT INTERVALS
Following placement of braces or Invisalign, we will schedule your next appointments before you leave our office. We will work with your schedule to find times that work best for you and your family. Appointments are generally made about every six weeks. At these appointments we will be adjusting your braces, delivering new Invisalign aligners or checking your appliances.
MAINTAINING YOUR DENTAL HEALTH
You MUST continue to see your family dentist on a regular basis throughout your orthodontic treatment. Most dentists recommend that you come in for a check-up and cleaning every six months, and this is even more important during treatment. If more advanced dental care is required during orthodontic treatment, we will happily work with your dentist to ensure you receive the best care possible.
