What to expect at your first visit
No pressure, no surprises. Just a friendly conversation about your smile and your options. Here's exactly how it works.
Initial Exam
We'll take a look at your teeth and bite to see whether orthodontic treatment makes sense for you. This visit may include X-rays to help diagnose your orthodontic needs accurately.
Diagnostic Records
If treatment looks like a good fit, we'll schedule a records visit: a medical and dental history, a clinical exam, digital models of your teeth, photos, and any additional X-rays.
Your Consultation
Dr. Taylor reviews your records and walks you through your treatment plan in detail, including the timeline and cost for your specific case, before you decide on anything.
Getting Started
Placing braces or an expander typically takes one to two hours. From there, we'll see you for short adjustment visits every four to six weeks.

Appointments during treatment
Appliance placement
Putting on braces or an expander for the first time is a longer visit, usually one to two hours. We'll walk you through care instructions before you leave.
Adjustment visits
Once treatment is underway, regular adjustment appointments are quick, typically 10 to 15 minutes, scheduled every four to six weeks.
