What happens after the initial consultation?

You're one step closer to achieving the smile you've always wanted!  After your consultation, we will schedule your first appointment for Dr. Howell to start your orthodontic treatment. This appointment generally takes about an hour, and during this time our team will be available to make sure that you are as comfortable as possible.

Scheduling Appointments

Visiting the orthodontist about every six to twelve weeks is an important part of your orthodontic treatment. Our practice will work with you to make sure that your appointments are as convenient as possible. When scheduling appointments, please let us know what days and times work best for you.

We understand that “life happens!”  If you're running late or need to reschedule, please let us know, and we will do everything we can to accommodate you.

Visiting the dentist during orthodontic treatment

It is very important that you continue to visit your family dentist at least once every six months, even during your orthodontic treatment, for teeth cleanings and routine dental checkups.  If extra dental care is needed, we will be happy to coordinate with your family dentist to make sure that you are receiving the best care possible.
