Your First Visit

Your First Visit | Office Policies | Ask the Orthodontist

We look forward to meeting you on your first visit to our office. During this time, we will help you get acquainted with our office and learn about your orthodontic treatment. We understand that each patient's orthodontic treatment is different, and we promise to give you the personal attention you deserve. We use digital images to help explain your orthodontic needs, and we have visual aides to help you understand what orthodontic appliances look like and how they work. Our goal is to answer all of your questions regarding your orthodontic treatment at this first appointment.

If you are ready for treatment, we can typically start that day with diagnostic records that consist of photographs, radiographs and models of your teeth. These diagnostic records allow Dr. Kelleher to prepare an individualized treatment plan and assure that no small details are overlooked. Depending on the complexity of the treatment, we may schedule a separate consultation appointment to discuss your treatment plan in greater detail.
