Your First Visit
Every person who comes to our orthodontic office is met with a warm greeting from our front office team member when they first arrive. We’ll then ask you to fill out a series of new patient forms, assuming you haven’t done so ahead of time, allowing us to get to know you a bit better. Soon, you’ll be able to meet with one of our orthodontists to discuss your smile goals. After completing a brief exam, we’ll highlight potential treatments we think will best resolve you or your family members’ orthodontic needs.

Invest In Your Smile with Our Preferred Plan
Over the years, we've heard countless stories of patients' retainers getting lost, accidentally thrown away, or even eaten by the dog. It happens more often than you'd think! Retainers are a huge part of your orthodontic treatment, and our Preferred Plan helps ensure smiles continue to look perfect long after braces are removed. By becoming a Preferred Plan member, you get replacement retainers up to four times a year, saving thousands of dollars and gaining peace-of-mind in never having to worry about the cost of losing a retainer. Our patients love this treatment option.
Perks of the plan:
- Retainers includes + Replacements as Needed*
- 5 Years of Retainer Checks Included
- Post Treatment Take-Home Whitening Kit (ages 16+) to help your new smile SHINE
- Option of Clear or Metal Braces
Dental Insurance
We are happy to work with most major insurance plans and providers because we’re a dental insurance-friendly orthodontic office! We’ll make sure to discuss your benefits in more detail when it’s time for treatment, file your insurance claim on your behalf, and maximize benefits to the highest extent. It’s very important to us that you get the most out of your plan and save money on your child’s care. You’ll find out how simple the process is once you give us a call today to get started!
Medicaid Accepted
Do you use Medicaid to pay for your child’s orthodontic treatment, rather than private insurance? We’ll help you make sure that your benefits are properly maximized so your child can get the treatment that they need. When you absolutely need to treat your child’s dental concerns, Medicaid can be very helpful. As we complete their detailed exam, we’ll offer recommendations for the best possible treatment for your child, then discuss payment moving forward.
Affordable Financing Available
Every smile is unique. So is every budget. LendingPoint patient financing helps make getting the smile you want for yourself or for your child easy and affordable.

How to Handle Common Orthodontic Emergencies
Your first step with any orthodontic emergency should be to get in touch with us; you’ll want to make your emergency appointment sooner instead of later. Of course, sometimes you might not be able to get to our orthodontic office right away, but don’t worry! The tips listed below will help you keep the situation under control until we can see you. We can also provide you with additional guidance over the phone.

Broken Bracket
As long as the bracket is still on the wire, you may be able to push it back into place with a cotton swab and hold it there with orthodontic wax (which can be bought over the counter at a pharmacy or a grocery store). Don’t bite into any sticky or hard foods while you wait; otherwise, you might end up breaking the bracket entirely.
Poking Wire
If the wire is jabbing you in the gums, try pushing it with a Q-tip to keep it flat against the tooth. You can cover the end with a special wax to stop it from causing further irritation. In certain cases, you may need to shorten the wire using clippers; if you do, use a tissue or gauze to catch the piece that comes off.
Oral Pain & Soreness
It’s normal to feel some discomfort after receiving braces or having them tightened. Practicing a soft diet and rinsing with salt water can help you stay comfortable while your mouth adjusts. You should call our orthodontic office if the soreness becomes severe or lasts longer than normal. If you need to, you can take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory pain reliever.
