What to Expect

Your First Visit (New Patient Exam)

At the first visit to the orthodontist, diagnostic records are prescribed to determine the best course of treatment. Complete diagnostic records typically include a dental history, clinical examination, plaster study models of the teeth,  facial photos and X-rays. This information is used to develop a custom treatment plan for each patient.
