No referral is needed; you’re welcome to schedule directly with us, even if your child’s dentist hasn’t made a formal referral. Once you reach out, we’ll follow up promptly to confirm your appointment and help you prepare for your first visit. We understand that every family’s schedule is different, so we’re committed to convenience, responsiveness, and making sure your child’s orthodontic care fits seamlessly into your routine.

What to Expect During the First Orthodontic Visit

The first orthodontic visit is a critical step in understanding your child’s oral development. It’s also a chance for you and your child to get to know our practice and ask any questions you may have.
Here’s what typically happens during a new patient consultation:
  • Digital imaging and evaluation – We take detailed digital scans and X-rays to assess your child’s teeth, bite, and jaw development.
  • Orthodontic exam – Dr. Iris Kivity-Chandler will examine your child’s smile and look for signs of crowding, misalignment, or bite issues.
  • Dental history review – We’ll discuss your child’s dental background, habits (like thumb-sucking or tongue-thrusting), and any concerns.
  • Personalized recommendations – If treatment is needed, we’ll outline the best timing and approach—whether it’s early intervention or monitoring for later.
This visit is pressure-free and informative. Our goal is to provide clarity, reassurance, and expert guidance on what’s best for your child’s smile now and into the future.

Flexible Scheduling That Fits Your Family’s Life

At IKC Orthodontics, we believe that exceptional care should never come at the expense of your time or convenience. That’s why we offer flexible scheduling options designed to fit seamlessly into your family’s busy life. From after-school and early evening appointments to weekend availability for certain services (please call for current scheduling options), we strive to make orthodontic visits easy and accessible.
We also provide convenient reminder notifications via text or email and offer emergency appointments when your child needs urgent attention. Timely follow-up visits are a priority, ensuring that your child’s treatment, whether braces, aligners, or observation- stays on track without unnecessary delays. Your time is valuable, and so is your child’s smile. Let us help you balance both with care that fits your schedule.

How Often Will My Child Need to Come In?

One of the most common questions we hear is: How often will my child need to come in for orthodontic visits? The answer depends on where your child is in their orthodontic journey.
  • Early orthodontic evaluation (Phase 1) – Typically begins around age 7. These visits may be spaced every 6–12 months if your child is in a monitoring phase.
  • Active treatment (Phase 2) – If your child is wearing braces or aligners, visits are generally scheduled every 6 to 8 weeks for adjustments and progress checks.
  • Clear aligners – Teens with removable aligners may also require periodic check-ins, but often with more flexibility in scheduling.
Our team will walk you through a custom treatment schedule during the consultation, so you know what to expect. And of course, we’re always available to adjust your child’s appointment schedule as needed.
