What to Expect

Your initial appointment will typically consist of a thorough examination and a discussion of your potential treatment options. Your first visit will address your orthodontic needs to determine if this is the right time to begin treatment.

After we welcome you into our office, you’ll be introduced to our team and taken on a short tour to get you familiar with our facilities. We believe in creating a relaxed atmosphere where you can feel confident and informed about your treatment choices.

Consultation

During your first visit, Dr. Nick Romanides or Dr. Ryan Trulby will review your dental and medical history forms and provide a complete oral exam, including X-rays, to determine whether treatment is necessary. They will explain all aspects of any recommended treatments including the process and the outcomes you can expect.

You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions you have about your orthodontic treatment, such as:

• How long will I need to wear braces?
• Do I need any teeth removed for my braces?
• How often will I have appointments?
• How much will it cost?
• What are the payment options?
• Do you accept my insurance?

Treatment Plan

Our goal is to provide a complete treatment plan that addresses all of your orthodontic needs. If treatment is indicated, we will provide a detailed plan that includes a complete clinical diagnosis regarding the nature of the problem, a specific treatment plan, and a timeline for how long the treatment is expected to take.

We utilize the latest technology and orthodontic methods to ensure the most effective care. Our practice offers a variety of treatments that are designed for different age groups – including adults. A large portion of our practice is dedicated to adult patients, so you can rest assured that you’re getting the best possible care tailored to your specific needs.

Financial Information

Understanding the cost of orthodontic treatment and what it involves can be daunting. During your first visit, we will outline the cost of your treatment and discuss with you the various payment plan options available. We strive to make orthodontic treatment affordable for everyone and accept most major insurance plans. Additionally, our office offers various payment plans and financial options to accommodate your financial needs. Our staff is always available to help you with insurance claims and paperwork.
