First Orthodontic Consultation

Our greatest goal is to give you the healthy, straight, beautiful smile you’ve always wanted. We understand that choosing to receive orthodontic care is a big decision, and we respect your reasons for wanting to improve the way your child looks and feels.

Our practice will work with you every step of the way to make sure the orthodontic care you or your child receives is as rewarding as possible. We utilize the latest technology, and offer a variety of safe and gentle treatment options to supply the customized, individual care your family deserves.

 

Every smile starts with an initial consultation!

Your initial consultation will give you the opportunity to meet our team, learn more about orthodontics, receive a complete initial exam, and find out which treatment options will best meet your or your child’s needs. During your initial consultation, we will:

• Review the dental and medical history forms

• Perform a complete oral exam, with X-rays, to determine whether treatment is necessary

• Help you create a customized treatment plan

• Discuss all financial information, insurance options, and payment plans

Our team will be glad to answer any questions you may have, and we will provide all the information you need to determine which treatment is right for you. Please contact our practice to schedule your initial consultation.

 

What happens after the initial consultation?

You’re one step closer to achieving the smile you’ve always wanted for yourself or your son or daughter! After your consultation, we will schedule the first appointment and Dr. Simus or Dr. Nichols will place the new orthodontic appliance. This appointment generally takes about an hour, and during this time our team will be available to make sure you or your child is as comfortable as possible.

 

Scheduling Appointments

Visiting the orthodontist about every four to eight weeks is an important part of orthodontic treatment. Our practice will work with you to make sure your appointments are as convenient as possible. When scheduling appointments, please let us know which days and times work best for you.

We understand that “life happens”! If you’re running late or need to reschedule, please let us know and we will do everything we can to accommodate you. When you’re ready to schedule your first appointment, contact our practice and our friendly scheduling coordinator will assist you. We’re looking forward to working with you.
