Your First Visit

During your first orthodontic visit, we would like to get to know you and find out more about your specific concerns and expectations.

We will mail you a welcome packet with a patient information form to be completed and brought to your first appointment.  You can also fill out our patient information form online by clicking the corresponding link below

Child Patient Form 

Adult Patient Form

We will take photographs of your face and teeth, a panoramic x-ray, conduct a thorough exam of your teeth and bite, and discuss the following information with you:

  • Whether or not you need braces and why it is necessary
  • Your treatment options and alternatives
  • Which type of braces will be most effective for you
  • Estimated length of treatment
  • Cost of braces, insurance options, and payment plans to meet your individual needs

Diagnostic Records

If orthodontic treatment is recommended, complete diagnostic records, including a cephalometric x-ray and molds of your teeth, will be taken before treatment begins so that we can fully diagnose your condition and finalize the appropriate treatment plan.

Our office has invested in a 3-D x-ray machine to aid in the diagnosis of the most challenging orthodontic problems with low radiation exposure.
