What to Expect?
Whether it’s your child’s first appointment, or you’re exploring treatment for yourself, we want you to feel comfortable and confident from the very beginning.
Your complimentary first visit is all about learning about your smile, your options, and how we can help.
We’ll walk you through every step, answer your questions, and provide honest guidance tailored to your unique needs.
1. Check-In
Come on in and meet our friendly front desk team. We’ll get you settled and provide a quick intro form to complete.
2. Capture Your Smile
We’ll take some photos and a digital x-ray if needed to get a clear picture of your smile.
3. Meet Your Orthodontist
One of our orthodontists will examine your teeth and bite, walk through any questions or concerns, and share their recommendations.
4. Discuss Your Options
If treatment is recommended, we’ll talk through all the options, the cost, insurance details, and timing—so you feel informed and confident.
5. Plan Ahead
If you’re not ready for treatment and we’re monitoring growth and development. We’ll plan your next complimentary visit at the right time (usually in 6, 9 or 12 months).
6. Start Your Smile Journey
If you’re ready to begin treatment, we’ll walk you through the next steps and get your first appointment scheduled. We’re excited to help you get started.
What is The Right Age to Get Started?
The Canadian Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic consultation by age 7.
At this stage, most kids have a mix of baby and adult teeth, and that gives us a valuable opportunity to assess how their smile, bite, and jaw growth are progressing. Even if everything looks great, an early visit gives you peace of mind and helps us create a baseline for monitoring future development.
We’re not looking to rush into treatment. In fact, most kids we see at this age don’t need braces yet. But if there’s something that needs attention, like crowding, a crossbite, or early signs of jaw misalignment, we can often address it with minimal intervention now rather than more complex treatment later.
And if treatment isn’t needed? We’ll simply check in every 6–12 months at no cost to you. These short visits allow us to monitor growth and make sure everything is staying on track.
Early consultations are about setting the stage for a lifetime of healthy, confident smiles.
