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 take x-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.

We Look Forward To Meeting You!

We’re so excited to see you and help you get the healthy, aligned smile you deserve. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our team!

Holmes & Palmer Orthodontics has been amazing from start to finish. They’ve taken such good care of both mine and my sister’s braces, and we’ve had nothing but positive experiences. The staff is always friendly, patient, and willing to explain everything in a way that makes you feel comfortable. Appointments run smoothly, the office is clean and welcoming, and our smiles are already improving so much. You can tell they really care about their patients. I’m genuinely happy we chose them and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for great orthodontic care
