What to Expect at Your First Orthodontist Appointment
A Warm Welcome and Office Tour
Our team prioritizes your comfort from the moment you arrive. We'll give you a brief tour of our modern office to help you feel at home. This initial step is all about getting to know you, answering any immediate questions you might have, and ensuring you feel relaxed and prepared for your consultation.
Comprehensive Records and Digital Scans
To get a complete picture of your smile, we will take advanced digital X-rays and a 3D scan of your teeth. This process is quick, completely painless, and provides our orthodontics specialists with the precise information needed to map out the most effective orthodontic treatment path, ensuring a truly customized approach to your care.
Detailed Examination with Our Specialist
Next, you will meet with one of our experienced orthodontists. They will conduct a thorough oral examination, carefully reviewing your digital scans and assessing your bite and jaw alignment. This is a great opportunity to discuss your personal smile goals and any concerns you may have before we begin exploring potential treatment options together.
Reviewing Your Custom Orthodontic Treatment Plan
Based on our findings, we will walk you through your personalized treatment options, whether it’s traditional braces or clear aligners. We’ll discuss the entire process, estimated duration, and financial details in a clear, easy-to-understand way. Our goal is for you to leave feeling fully informed and confident about the journey ahead.
