Your First Visit

Home » Patient Resources » Your First Visit

At Your First Orthodontic Appointment

The initial orthodontic consultation is about diagnosing orthodontic problems and forming a treatment plan. You will fill out some paperwork to help us understand your oral health history and get a good idea of your treatment goals. Our team will also takex-rays and photos to get a complete picture of what’s going on with your smile. We will then perform an examination to see how your teeth align and perform.

Once all the information has been gathered, it will be time to start discussing treatment options, including an estimation of how long the treatment will take and a quote of the cost of treatment. If the appointment is for a minor child, a parent or legal guardian must be present.

 

What To Bring To Your Consultation

We do everything we can to make sure your consultation is enjoyable and smooth, but you can help by coming prepared with the following things:

  • X-rays from your general dentist, if possible
  • Your dental insurance information
  • Patient Forms filled out
  • Your questions about orthodontic treatment!

Having this prepared and ready for your appointment will save you time and allow us to make your first visit the very best experience.

Lucinda G.
We wanted to find the best orthodontist we could for our daughter! She had some crowding of the teeth that was painful at times but she was also self conscious about her smile. After reading the reviews of multiple practices, we decided on the Charleston location. The entire visit was amazing! We felt heard and felt that they truly cared. My daughter has had everything needed to get her mouth to where it needs to be so far and has helped her self confidence immensely! She always looks forward to her visits!
