Congratulations on your first step towards a straighter, more beautiful smile! We can’t wait to meet you at your free consultation! Here’s what you’ll need to know to be prepared for your first trip to our office. Your first visit is a time for us to get to know you and determine what your main concerns are. Keep in mind, we are strictly an orthodontic office; we are not a general dentist, but we would be happy to refer you to one! Each member of our team is friendly and accessible and we encourage our patients and parents to ask questions. We believe that patients will feel more comfortable if they know what to expect and are well informed about a procedure before it occurs. We try to avoid any unexpected surprises and let each patient know everything we are going to do before we do it.

At your first visit, we ask that you bring all insurance documentation and your health history forms which can be found below. Initial paperwork will be completed and an orthodontic exam will be done. During this time, we evaluate many things relating to the face, the smile, the fit of the teeth and the amount of room for all of the teeth. Dr. Arango will go over his findings with you and discuss his proposed treatment. At this initial visit, if you are ready for treatment, diagnostic records are taken and braces can even be put on that same day!
