First visit

Your initial visit is free of charge and usually takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes. During this visit a doctor will perform an orthodontic examination, offer an opinion as to whether orthodontic treatment will be beneficial and answer any questions.

If treatment is indicated, the next step will be taking diagnostic records. These may include models of the mouth, X-rays, photographs and other records that will help us plan your individualized treatment. The doctor will explain the process and role of each of these records, and they will be scheduled in our office at your convenience.

The doctor will outline a specific treatment plan and explain the process, what you can expect during each visit, estimated time frame of treatment and answer any questions you or your child may have. Once treatment begins, you will be scheduled to see the doctor of your choice every six to eight weeks.
