Your First Orthodontic Consultation

Approximately 3 million American teens have braces. The number of adults who are having orthodontic treatments is steadily rising. You’re never too old or too young to have straight teeth.

The initial consultation with the orthodontist is basically a visual exam of your teeth and facial structure. Sometimes the orthodontist requires more in-depth information, but none of this causes any pain or discomfort.

Your orthodontist will explain to you how your teeth, jaws, and alignment are doing and explain what type of solutions may be needed. You will be encouraged to look at your X-rays and pictures, and ask questions or express any concerns. The goal is to personalize your treatment for the best outcome.

During your consultation, you will also be told how much future treatment(s) will cost. The orthodontist or a member of the staff will go over your treatment fees, insurance coverage (how much it will cover), and the payment policies of the office.
