Request an AppointmentWhat to Expect as a New Orthodontic Patient
Our goal is to make your experience as easy and stress-free as possible. We have worked hard to create a welcoming, comfortable office and a caring team dedicated to giving you a positive visit every time you walk through our doors. Before you come in, please feel free to call and ask any questions or share any concerns. We want you to feel at ease before you even arrive.
Your Free Orthodontic Consultation
Your first visit is a complimentary consultation that typically lasts about 45 minutes. During this appointment, we will:
- Take a low-radiation digital panoramic image of your teeth and jaws
- Capture photos of your teeth and smile
- Complete a thorough orthodontic examination with Dr. Wong
- Discuss your concerns, goals, and all available treatment options
- Review estimated treatment time, costs, and insurance benefits
Dr. Wong will explain his findings in clear, simple terms and recommend the treatment that best fits your needs, whether that is Invisalign® clear aligners, clear braces, early treatment for children, or adult orthodontics. We may also use our iTero® intraoral scanner to create a detailed 3D digital model of your teeth without messy impressions.
Save Time with Paperwork Before Your Visit
To help your first appointment go smoothly, you can complete your new patient forms online from the comfort of home. Please bring your insurance card, a photo ID, and a list of any medications you take. If you have recent dental x-rays from your general dentist, we are happy to request them on your behalf.
