Be on Your Way to A Beautiful Smile with An Initial Consultation

When you come in for your initial consultation you will have an opportunity to meet the team, learn more about orthodontics and which treatment options will be best for you, as well as receiving a complete initial exam. During this time, we will:

• Review your dental and medical history forms
• Go over your personal concerns and what you are seeking from treatment
• Provide a complete oral exam, to determine if and when treatment is necessary
• Help you create a customized treatment plan once X-rays have been taken
• Discuss all financial information, insurance options, and payment plans

At IKC Orthodontics, we will be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have about what treatment option will be right for you and provide you with the information you need to make the best decision. Contact us today, to get you scheduled for an initial consultation.

What Happens Next?

If you’ve decided on orthodontics, Congratulations! You are now on your way to a beautiful and healthy smile! After your initial consultation, we will schedule your first appointment and both Dr. Kivity-Chandler and her team work together to place your new orthodontic appliance (braces, Invisalign, special bite correction appliances or expanders). Generally, the appointment for placing braces takes around 60-90 minutes. Throughout the process, our team will make sure that you are relaxed and comfortable.

Visiting the Dentist and your Hygienist During Orthodontic Treatment

It is very important to continue visits your general dentist and your hygienist every 4-6 months during your orthodontic treatment, for dental cleanings and routine checkups. If additional dental care is needed, we will gladly work with your dentist to ensure that you are getting the dental care in a timely manner and that you are maintaining optimal dental and oral health.
