  • June 27, 2021

Our greatest goal is to give you the healthy, straight, beautiful smile that you’ve always wanted. We understand that choosing to receive orthodontic care is a big decision, and we respect your reasons for wanting to improve the way you look and feel. Our practice will work with you every step of the way to make sure that your orthodontic care is as rewarding as possible. Our practice utilizes the latest technology, offering a variety of safe and gentle treatment options to give you the customized, individual care you deserve.

Every Smile Starts with a Complimentary New Patient Examination!

Your one-hour complimentary new patient examination will give you the opportunity to meet our team, tour our office, learn more about orthodontics, receive a comprehensive initial exam by one of our Doctors, and be informed about which treatment options may best meet your needs. During your initial examination, one of our Doctors, along with our New Patient Coordinator, will:

  • Review your dental and medical history forms.
  • Provide a complete oral exam with digital x-rays and photographs to determine if treatment is necessary.
  • Help you create a customized preliminary treatment plan.
  • Discuss all financial information, insurance options, and payment plans.

If the doctor feels that you are ready to begin treatment, we can do the initial paperwork and scan at that time.

If you’d like to schedule a complimentary exam with one of our Doctors please call 513.777.7060.

Initiation of Treatment

The placement of orthodontic appliances is the next appointment for the patient. Depending on the treatment plan, the first appointment may be a long one that may last up to two hours.

Scheduling Appointments

Visiting the orthodontist every 4-8 weeks is an important part of your orthodontic treatment, with regular checkups lasting between 20-40 minutes. Our practice will work with you to ensure that your appointments are scheduled around your busy schedule; so that you will spend less time in the dental chair and more time enjoying the things you love to do. For your convenience, we have a variety of early morning and evening hours.

We understand that “life happens,” so if you’re running late or need to reschedule, please let us know, and we will do everything we can to accommodate you. When you’re ready to schedule your first appointment, call our practice at 513.777.7060; we’re looking forward to working with you.

Visiting the Dentist During Orthodontic Treatment

It is very important that you continue to visit your family dentist once every six months, even during your orthodontic treatment, for teeth cleanings and routine dental checkups. If extra dental care is needed, we will be happy to coordinate with your family dentist to make sure that you are receiving the best care possible.
