Choosing an orthodontist is a big decision—for both parents and patients. That’s why we believe your very first visit should feel comfortable, fun informative, and pressure-free.
Here at Happier Smiles Orthodontics, your initial orthodontic consultation is completely complimentary and designed to give you all the information you need to confidently decide whether braces or clear aligners are right for you or your child.
Here’s exactly what you can expect at your first free orthodontic consult:
1. A Warm WelcomeÂ
From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted by our friendly team and have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with the Orthodontist. We take the time to listen to your concerns, goals, and questions—no rushing, no pressure.
And yes… you’ll also get to enjoy a fresh-baked cookie at the end of the consult.
Because first visits should feel a little special.
2. Easy, Complimentary Imaging
Next, we’ll gather all the information needed to fully examine your smile. This includes:
-
Reviewing your medical and dental history
-
Taking complimentary digital X-rays (ceph & pano)
-
Completing a 3D digital scan of your teethÂ
No goopy impressions, no discomfort—and the entire process typically takes 10–20 minutes.
3. A Fully Customized Exam & Treatment PlanÂ
Using your records and a thorough clinical exam, the Orthodontist will evaluate:
-
Tooth alignment
-
Bite function
-
Jaw relationships
-
Long-term oral health considerations
From there, we create a custom treatment plan tailored specifically to you—whether that involves braces, clear aligners, or simply monitoring growth for the right time to begin.
We believe in treating every patient the way we would want our own family treated:
with empathy, honesty, and compassion. We take a conservative approach and only recommend orthodontic treatment when it is truly needed.
4. All Your Questions—Answered
Once treatment options are reviewed, we’ll clearly explain:
-
How long treatment is expected to last
-
What day-to-day life with braces or aligners looks like
-
What results you can realistically expect
Our treatment coordinator will then go over flexible financial options and payment plans to help make treatment affordable and stress-free.
We also respect how valuable your time is. For your convenience, we always reserve time for same-day starts, allowing you to begin treatment right away and avoid extra trips—or missing school or work.
