At the very beginning of orthodontic treatment, patients are usually a little apprehensive. We understand and appreciate that. That's why we have designated a very private, comfortable room where we can discuss treatment options and the entire orthodontic process. We feel it is vitally important to get to know our new patients personally and also for them to get to know us. Because this is as much a time for relationship-building as it is an orthodontic exam, we set aside ample time to ensure that our patients and parents leave the initial exam with all their questions answered and feeling much more relaxed and at ease with the entire orthodontic process.
