ProviderSchedule Your First Appointment
To get started, you'll need to book a consultation with our team so that we can assess your orthodontic condition and discuss your needs and goals with you. From there, we'll develop a plan for your orthodontic treatment.
Fill Out the New Patient Form
Once you've got your consultation booked, you'll need to fill out our Dental & Medical Health History Form. We invite you to fill out the form online in advance of your first appointment.
The Consultation Process
The initial consultation process usually takes about an hour to complete, and will be led by one of our treatment coordinators. We look forward to meeting you!
Arrive & Get Settled
We recommend arriving about 10 minutes early so you can get settled and complete any necessary paperwork without feeling rushed. When you walk through our doors, a friendly member of our front reception team will be there to welcome you.
While you wait, you’re invited to relax in our comfortable reception area and enjoy some refreshments. We also have games available to help keep kids entertained.
When it’s time for your visit, we’ll escort you to a private consultation room where you can get comfortable before your appointment begins.
Assessment & Diagnostic Imaging
We’ll begin your consultation by sitting down together and talking about your concerns, goals, and what you’d like to improve about your smile. We’ll also take some “before treatment” photos so we have a clear starting point.
From there, we’ll complete a thorough exam to get a full understanding of your oral health. This includes taking detailed imaging and creating a 3D digital model of your teeth with our iTero™ scanner. This digital scan helps us plan treatment and can be used to design any orthodontic appliance you may need.
One of the exciting features of the iTero scanner is its ability to generate a digital outcome simulation. This allows you to see a preview of how your smile may look once treatment is complete.
We’ll also take a 3D iCAT scan. This type of 3D X-ray provides detailed, behind-the-scenes information that helps our orthodontist develop a personalized and effective treatment plan tailored to you.
Customized Treatment Plan
At this point in the process, you'll meet with our treatment coordinator to discuss your health history (if needed) and review the imaging, outlining indications for orthodontic treatment.
Based on the exam and the results of the imaging, our orthodontist will diagnose your condition and develop a customized treatment plan to resolve it and meet your goals. Our treatment coordinator and orthodontist will review this plan and go over the finer points with you.
This plan will include treatment recommendations, a projected timeline for treatment completion, and an appointment schedule.
We'll also discuss a payment game plan for your treatment. This will include your payment plan, insurance coverage, and financing should you choose to take advantage of that option.
Next Steps
To wrap up your appointment, we’ll review the next steps needed to move forward with your treatment plan and help you schedule any upcoming visits.
We’re always happy to answer your questions and provide guidance and support — not just during your consultation, but throughout your entire orthodontic experience.
We genuinely enjoy talking about teeth! More importantly, we believe that patients who understand their treatment feel more confident and engaged every step of the way. Our goal is to make sure you feel informed, comfortable, and supported from start to finish.
