How can I book an appointment?
What insurances does your office accept?
Yes, we accept all major insurance plans. Call our office to verify your specific coverage and schedule an appointment.
What should I expect during my first visit?
At your initial consultation, we will take some pictures, X-rays, and a digital scan for the doctor to review. The doctor will examine your teeth and determine if treatment is recommended, and if so, how long you will need to undergo treatment. This initial consultation is free of charge. Our awesome treatment coordinator will then review your dental insurance, discuss your orthodontic coverage/benefits, and calculate the costs of your treatment. At that point, if it feels appropriate to you, and you feel ready, we can schedule an appointment to start treatment! In most cases, we can get you into the clinic the same day, so you don't have to come back for another appointment.
At what age should my child start seeing an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children see an orthodontist for an initial evaluation at age 7. This does not mean every child needs early, interceptive orthodontic treatment. Early screening visits help in catching dental and skeletal issues early so they can be addressed proactively, when necessary. This can lead to better treatment results in less treatment time when planned correctly.
How often will I need to come to the office for appointments during orthodontic treatment
You will typically need to visit our office every 6-8 weeks during your orthodontic treatment for adjustments and progress checks. This timeframe varies based on your specific treatment and specific details can be discussed at the consultation.
