Here’s what to expect during your first orthodontic visit at Beautiful Dentistry in Tempe, AZ 85284.

First Appointment

An orthodontic consultation includes an appointment with our orthodontist, Dr. Martin Sobieraj, before the commencement of your treatment. This is the first baby step towards realizing your dream smile, where we will assess your teeth, gums, and jaw to design a specific treatment plan that is appropriate for you.

The Initial Exam

The initial exam usually consists of two parts:

• A dental hygienist will take X-rays, photographs, and digital scans of your teeth to help Dr. Martin Sobieraj evaluate and share the findings with you during your consultation.
• During your consultation with Dr. Martin Sobieraj, you will have the chance to clarify any concerns regarding your teeth, gums, facial shape, and bite. Based on this discussion, a treatment plan can be chalked out for you.

Treatment Options

Once you are found suitable for undergoing an orthodontic procedure, Dr. Martin Sobieraj will discuss various treatment options such as metal braces or Invisalign. We will provide you with all the information about the benefits and limitations of each type of treatment to help you better decide which method will be appropriate for your condition. 

Additionally, this appointment will provide you an opportunity to ask questions. You will be able to get all the information that is essential to make an educated decision about which type of treatment product you wish to utilize. Factors like the aesthetic appearance, costs, and duration of the treatment will aid you in deciding the perfect mode of treatment.

Once you have gained a fair idea of the various treatment options, your journey to a beautiful smile can begin. After making a decision, you can schedule a follow-up appointment to go ahead with the actual procedure. The orthodontic treatment can take you on a path to a better smile, more confidence, and a healthier mouth.
