What does my free first visit include?
Your first visit includes:
Comprehensive orthodontic exam, including digital x-rays, photos and digital scans with the iTero® Element intraoral scanner
One-on-one consultation with one of our 5-star orthodontists, Dr. Graf, Dr. Cloud or Dr. Digney
Cost and insurance review to create a custom payment plan that suits your budget
Before you visit us for your consultation, you can fill out your new patient forms online for an easy check-in process.
When you visit us, our goal is to show you around, introduce you to your team, examine your smile, explore your treatment options, and create a personalized treatment plan that results in a selfie-ready smile.
Can I start treatment during my first visit?
You sure can! We’re proud to offer same day braces for patients who want to start their transformation right away.
If you tell us that you’re interested in same day braces, we’ll reserve time to start your treatment on the same day as your consultation. You can leave our office with braces on your teeth, or your Spark™ clear aligner scan complete.
How to do it:
- Request your complimentary consultation at one of our offices.
- When we reach out to you to schedule your appointment, let us know that you’re interested in a Same Day Start.
- Show up and get started! It’s that simple.
What to Expect
Step 1: Meet your team
First, you’ll be greeted with a smile from our friendly team. (You can expect this at every visit!)
Step 2: Get digital x-rays, scans & photos
We’ll take digital x-rays with our low-radiation digital x-ray machine.
Your orthodontist will use these diagnostic photos and x-rays to create your personalized treatment plan.
Step 3: Meet your orthodontist
We’ll head over to our consultation room where you’ll meet one of our orthodontists! Dr. Graf, Dr. Cloud or Dr. Digney will perform an in-person detailed exam of your teeth and bite.
We’ll answer all of your questions and tell you everything you need to know about your upcoming transformation with braces or Spark clear aligners.
Step 4: Pick an affordable payment plan
We’ll discuss your needs, calculate your insurance benefit, and develop a payment plan.
