Every smile starts with an initial consultation!
Your initial consultation gives you the opportunity to meet our team, learn more about orthodontics, receive a complete exam, and discover which treatment options will best meet your needs.
Our team will be happy to answer any questions and provide all the information you need to determine the right treatment for you. Please contact our Washington, D.C. office to schedule your initial consultation.
During your initial consultation, we will:
Review your dental and medical history forms
Provide a complete oral exam, including X-rays, to determine if treatment is necessary
Help you create a customized treatment plan
Discuss all financial information, insurance options, and payment plans
What Happens After the Initial Consultation?
You’re one step closer to achieving the smile you’ve always wanted! After your consultation, we will schedule your first appointment, where your doctor will place your new orthodontic appliance. This appointment generally takes about an hour, and our team will ensure you are as comfortable as possible.
