We strive to make your first appointment as comfortable, inviting, and informative as possible. Please ask us as many questions as you would like. Our goal is to give you a clear understanding of realistic treatment options and outcomes, and for you to feel comfortable and confident in the doctor and her staff.

Orthodontic Records
With our state of the art technology, we are able to minimize the amount of radiation you receive with our DIGITAL x-rays. Our DIGITAL SCANNER eliminates the need for goopy, unpleasant impressions. Orthodontic records consist of:
- A comprehensive orthodontic exam
- A digital panoramic x-ray
- A digital cephalometric x-ray
- A series of photographs
- A digital scan of your teeth and bite. WE DO NOT TAKE GOOPY MOLDS OF YOUR TEETH!
Getting Your Braces On
It does not hurt to get your braces on.
Once your braces are on, we will go over instructions on how to brush and floss you teeth properly and how often to do so.
We will also review diet restrictions with you and the foods you should avoid during orthodontic treatment.
It is very important that you follow the instructions given to you in order to avoid unwanted cavities, broken brackets, band, or appliance. Non-compliance will delay your treatment time and possibly cause you to have your braces removed before your treatment is finished ideally. YOU ARE IN CONTROL!
Periodic Adjustment Appointments
At these appointments, we will change your wires and colors. If you need to wear rubber bands we will show you how to wear to wear them, how to change them, and how often to wear them.
We review how well (or not so well) you have been brushing you teeth and keeping everything clean. Further instruction will be given as needed. Remember, YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF THIS!
We will also take periodic panoramic x-rays about every 6-9 months.
Invisalign
NO GOOPY IMPRESSIONS ARE NEEDED!
Once your aligners arrive to our office, we will give you instructions on how to insert and remove them, how often to wear them, when to change them, and how to clean them.
You are on you way to having that beautiful smile you always wanted!
