We are always excited to meet new patients! During your initial consultation at Valley Orthodontics, Dr. Chen will discuss your motivation and goals for seeking orthodontic treatment. Our team will review any x-rays and notes provided by your dentist and create images of your teeth and the surrounding tissues using cameras and x-rays to help determine if orthodontic treatment is indicated.
During your consultation, we will review treatment options and work to develop a plan that best fits your individual needs. We will also discuss treatment options and timelines, as well as costs and payment options for any proposed treatments. Please be sure to bring your insurance card (if applicable) and arrive early to fill out our initial paperwork if you have not already done so.
Once your treatment plan and financial arrangements have been determined, we will schedule the first series of appointments to begin orthodontic treatment and will provide you with an estimated timeline for future visits.
APPOINTMENTS:
- Starting Treatment Appointment:
- Your first appointment generally takes about 1 hour and will need to be scheduled during the morning.
- Adjustment Appointments:
- Once you have had your braces placed or have received your clear aligners, you will return for adjustments and evaluations every 4-6 weeks. These appointments will only take between 15-20 minutes and can be scheduled in the afternoons.
We look forward to seeing you in our office and showing you how orthodontic care can enhance your dental health and overall wellness. We want you to have the confidence to share your smile with the world!
