Arrive and register
Come five minutes early with your ID and insurance card. New patients fill in a short medical history.
Consultation and diagnosis
Your dentist examines you, takes X-rays only if they change the plan, and explains the options in plain language.
Treatment and follow-up
We treat on the day where we can, book any further visits before you leave, and send a reminder for each one.
How to Prepare
- Have a check-up and clean first. Braces go on healthy teeth and gums.
- Bring any previous orthodontic records, X-rays or retainers you still have.
- Come with a list of questions about timing, cost and what the appliance will look like.
- Allow about an hour for the first consultation, which includes records and photographs.
What to Expect
A full orthodontic consultation includes X-rays, photographs, and digital impressions. We'll discuss your options and timeline honestly. Follow-up appointments are typically every 4–8 weeks throughout treatment.
Who It's For
Teens and adults with crowded, gapped, or misaligned teeth. Early assessment is recommended for children from age 7 to identify issues before they become harder to correct.

The questions patients ask us most about this treatment. If yours is not here, call and ask - it costs nothing.
No. Teeth move at any age as long as the gums and bone are healthy. A large share of our orthodontic patients are adults, and most choose clear aligners.
