Your first consultation

What to expect at your first consultation

We want to give you and your family the chance to get to know our team and for us to get to know a little bit more about you, so we can best meet your needs and provide you with a personalized orthodontic treatment plan.

We will first ask you to fill out some new patient forms, so we can get some basic medical background that is essential for creating your treatment plan. We will then conduct an initial examination by taking digital photos and X-rays that will help us diagnose any current or developing orthodontic problems you may have. Once we identify any issues, we discuss various options like braces and Invisalign, and create a recommended treatment plan.

Finally, we’ll break everything down piece-by-piece with you: the type of treatment, the length, and the cost you can expect. We want to make sure that you always feel comfortable with your treatment, so we encourage you to ask any questions and we will be happy to give you all of the information you need.

How to prepare

It is important to inform your orthodontist of any relevant medical or dental history that you have. This can help the orthodontist in determining the best treatment plan for you.

Before your appointment, try and prepare a note of the medical and dental history that you want to share with your orthodontist. If you are taking your child, you need to recall their dental history as well.

Your new patient forms are sent to you digitally before your appointment.

What you will discuss

After the orthodontic examination, your orthodontist will discuss the orthodontic treatment options available to you. This includes discussing orthodontic procedures, orthodontic appliances available, and their corresponding treatment cost. They will also inform you of the estimated treatment timeline.

Caring for your braces

Your orthodontist will give you instructions on proper dental hygiene and care for your orthodontic treatment. This includes brushing, flossing, and the use of orthodontic products such as orthodontic wax and fluoride mouthwash.

Your orthodontist will also explain how to take care of certain orthodontic appliances, such as brackets and wires. This includes cleaning orthodontic wax off of appliances and checking for any loose orthodontic brackets or wires.
