Office Visits
Welcome! We’re excited to have you join the Ellis Orthodontics family. From your very first visit, our goal is to make you feel comfortable, informed, and confident in the care you’re receiving. This page will walk you through what to expect during your appointments with us.
Your First Consultation
Your orthodontic journey begins with a complimentary consultation. This is our chance to get to know you and your smile goals.
What to Expect
- Review your dental and medical history.
- Perform a complete oral exam, including digital X-rays and photos.
- Discuss your potential treatment options in detail.
- Create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
- Go over all financial information, including insurance options and our flexible payment plans.
We want you to leave this appointment with all your questions answered and a clear understanding of your path to a beautiful smile.
Regular Appointments
Once your treatment begins, you’ll visit us for regular appointments, typically every 4-8 weeks. These visits are crucial for us to monitor your progress and make adjustments to your appliances.
These appointments usually last about 20-40 minutes. We pride ourselves on staying on schedule and ask that you arrive on time for your visit. If you know you’ll be late or need to reschedule, please give us a call as soon as possible.
Keeping Your orthodontist in the Loop
It’s important to continue seeing your family orthodontist for regular cleanings and checkups every six months, even during your orthodontic treatment. We’ll work closely with your orthodontist to ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy throughout your journey with us.
