We offer a free initial consultation to all our patients.On your first visit, two x-rays, a panoramic x-ray and a cephalometric x-ray, will be taken in order to help Dr. White evaluate and diagnose the necessary orthodontic treatment. A panoramic x-ray shows a panoramic view or all teeth in the mouth, even those teeth which may not yet have erupted. A panoramic x-ray helps to evaluate crowding problems, spacing problems, and to evaluate the root structure of the teeth. A cephalometric x-ray is taken in order to help the doctor determine growth patterns of the jaw.  Dr. White will  then explain the diagnosis and treatment plan for the patient.

After Dr. White discusses a treatment  plan with the patient and/or parent, fee estimates and payment plans will be presented. There is no down payment required to get started with braces. We offer low, affordable monthly payments with no interest or finance charges.

The next step is to complete orthodontic records, which include plaster study models of the teeth, photos of the patient's face and teeth, and separators. In most cases, records can be done on the day of the initial consultation. You usually are able to have your braces placed within two weeks after your initial consultation. Please allow 1 ½ to 2 hours for your first visit.
