When it comes to orthodontic treatment, the main goal is to provide you with a straighter, healthier smile. Deciding to undergo orthodontic treatment (and also selecting an orthodontist) is an important decision for you and your family. You want a smile that looks and feels better, and you need to know what to expect from start to finish. To improve the appearance and position of your teeth, braces are no longer the only option.

So, you are thinking about scheduling your first visit. What should you expect? Your initial visit provides an opportunity for you to meet the entire dental team, learn more about braces, and find out which orthodontic treatment is right for you. Much of this information can be gathered during your clinical exam and your discussion with the orthodontist.
