It’s important to our team that you feel comfortable in our care throughout your orthodontic journey, and that all starts with your first visit! 

Many new patients are anxious about this initial appointment, we’ve found that knowing what to expect can help you feel more confident. With that in mind, let’s take a look at what your complimentary consultation with us will encompass!

Your first visit with Orthodontic Specialists

The first visit to one of our conveniently located offices is one of the most important appointments you’ll have with this. This is our chance to meet and get to know a bit about each other, discuss the concerns you have about your smile, and perform an orthodontic evaluation. No matter which location you choose, you’ll be sure to receive a warm welcome! Our ten locations include:

After being introduced to our friendly and talented team, we’ll give you a brief tour of the office and then gather your medical and dental history. Next up is collecting your diagnostic records! These records generally include digital photographs of your teeth and overall bite. We’ll usually take some X-rays as well. These images give us a closer look at what’s happening underneath the surface of your smile! Seeing your teeth along with the soft tissues and underlying bone provides us with a deeper understanding of your overall oral health and unique needs. 

Following this, you’ll be introduced to one of our experienced orthodontists, and they’ll perform a thorough examination of your mouth. This painless inspection will help us identify any orthodontic issues that may need attention, whether now or in the future.

We never want you to feel like we’re rushing you through your appointments with us, especially the first one! You should expect to spend about an hour with us during your first visit, which gives us plenty of time to perform the exam, discuss your diagnosis, and address any questions you may have about the treatment process. We’ll also cover other important topics like:

  • if treatment is recommended right away
  • what treatment options are available to you
  • an estimate of how long we expect your treatment to take
  • the total investment required for your new smile
  • any payment or financing options available to you

With a comprehensive and personalized approach like this, we’re able to create exceptional and long-lasting results that our patients love!

What comes next?

In some cases, we may be able to start treatment the same day as your consultation! When this isn’t possible, we’ll schedule an appointment for you to come in and have your orthodontic appliance placed or fitted. We do our best to make this appointment a positive and stress-free experience for you! You’ll have access to our team throughout your visit if you have any questions or concerns about the process.

Whatever appliance you choose with Orthodontic Specialists, follow-up visits with your orthodontist will be an important part of your treatment plan. You’ll be scheduled to see us every 4-8 weeks so that we can check your progress and adjust your appliance if necessary. If you’re wearing braces, your doctor may choose to change out your wires at this time as well.

We’ll always try to schedule these appointments for a day and time that’s convenient for you, but we know that life isn’t always predictable! If you find yourself running behind or can’t make your appointment for any reason, we ask that you let us know as soon as possible so we can get it rescheduled for you. This will keep your treatment on track and help you achieve the results you’re looking for in the least amount of time possible.
