What to Expect During Your Smile Assessment
Your appointment is designed to provide clarity, comfort, and confidence as the foundation of your experience. Here’s what the assessment includes:
- A thoughtful discussion of your goals: What would you like your smile to achieve? Better function? Straighter teeth? More confidence?
- In-depth exam and digital imaging: Using advanced imaging and orthodontic diagnostics, we evaluate your teeth alignment, bite relationship, and jaw position (laying the groundwork for both early orthodontic treatment and complex cases).
- Customized treatment planning: Our board-certified orthodontists tailor options—whether braces, clear aligners, or early Phase I care—and outline a clear plan with timeline, financing, and expected outcomes.
- Transparent review of payment and insurance: We’ll walk you through financing options and address your budget and insurance questions upfront.
