Your First Visit
We look forward to welcoming you to our orthodontic office for your first visit. Your initial orthodontic consultation is designed to help you feel comfortable, meet our team, and learn more about your personalized treatment options. Every patient’s smile is unique, and we are committed to providing individualized orthodontic care tailored to your needs.
During your first orthodontic appointment, diagnostic records will be taken, then the orthodontist will complete a comprehensive examination and discuss potential treatment options. This visit helps determine whether orthodontic treatment is needed and identifies the ideal timing to begin treatment.
What to Expect
During your visit, we will review important questions related to orthodontic care, including:
Are there orthodontic issues that can be corrected?
Is now the right time to start orthodontic treatment or would it be better to wait?
What orthodontic treatment options are available?
How long will orthodontic treatment take?
What is the cost of orthodontic treatment?
What payment and financing options are available?
After reviewing diagnostic records, we will provide a detailed orthodontic consultation. This includes a complete clinical diagnosis, a written summary of findings, and a customized treatment plan outlining treatment goals, estimated timelines, and orthodontic fees. We welcome questions from patients and parents and ensure plenty of time is dedicated to answering them.
Open Communication & Personalized Care
We believe excellent orthodontic care begins with open and honest communication. Dr. Malek will clearly explain your diagnosis, recommended treatment options, alternatives, and any findings that may require additional care. By working together, we create a true partnership with one shared goal—helping you achieve a healthy, confident, and beautiful smile.
