Your First Visit
When you first arrive, you’ll be met with a warm greeting from one of our orthodontic office team members. From there, if you have not already done so, we will ask you to complete a series of new patient forms in order to better understand your orthodontic needs. You’ll also get a chance to meet with our orthodontists and discuss your concerns. Once they complete an exam, they will go over potential treatments that they believe will best address you and your family members’ orthodontic goals.
New Patient Forms
For every new patient that comes into our orthodontic office, we want to make sure that we are taking care of all your needs upfront.

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
Not only are we an insurance-friendly orthodontic office, but we are more than happy to accept most major insurance plans and providers. When it is time for treatment, we’ll make sure to go over your benefits in more detail so that you know what is covered. We’ll also file insurance claims on your behalf for your convenience. Maximizing dental benefits is a top priority at our orthodontic office, just like how saving money on your child’s care is for you! Feel free to call our orthodontic office to get started!
Medicaid Accepted
If you plan to use Medicaid to pay for your child’s orthodontic treatment rather than private insurance, then we will help you utilize your benefits and maximize them to the fullest. Medicaid can be especially helpful for children who need orthodontics for a medical issue, like correcting the bite so they can chew and speak properly. We’ll guide you through the claims process so treatment can be started in a timely manner.
Affordable Financing Available
Every smile is unique. So is every budget. CareCredit patient financing helps make getting the smile you want for yourself or for your child easy and affordable. Click the link below to check out options for no down payment / low monthly payment plans. Instant decision. Checking your options will not affect your credit score.

Broken Bracket
If the bracket is still attached, gently push it back into place using a cotton swab. Then, cover the bracket with dental/orthodontic wax to keep it stationary. The material can be purchased in major grocery stores and pharmacies. Rinse your mouth out with saltwater to promote healing of all cuts or sores that do appear. Avoid sticky or hard foods however possible.
Poking Wire
Take a Q-tip and push the wire so that it is flat against the tooth. It’s also possible to cover it with a relief wax if the wire cannot be pushed into a more comfortable position. As a last resort, clip the wire using a pair of clippers. Hold a tissue or gauze to catch the wire.
Oral Pain & Soreness
Discomfort for a day or two after braces have been placed or tightened is relatively normal and it helps to maintain a soft diet. You can also rinse your mouth with warm salt water. However, if pain continues, take an over-the-counter pain reliever and contact our orthodontic office right away.
