It’s free. It’s painless. We promise.
We know many people are afraid of going to the orthodontist. Kids are afraid it’s going to hurt their teeth and parents are afraid it’s going to hurt their bank accounts. At Smith Orthodontics, making everyone who walks through our doors as comfortable as possible is our goal.
We start by offering free initial exams to anyone interested in braces, Invisalign, or other orthodontic treatment.
New Patient Forms
Our new patient forms are available online, but if you prefer, you can also fill them out at our office. They include questions about your medical history, insurance information, and who is allowed to receive information about your visits with us.
Initial Exam
We will take x-rays of you or your child’s teeth and jaws to determine what is going on both above and below the gums. Next, we’ll create digital images of the teeth with our iTero scanner, which replace the impressions made with gooey compound and molds.
Both a staff member and Dr. Smith take part in every new patient exam, so you have two friendly professionals at your disposal to ask any questions you may have. You will also receive a recommendation for treatment.
Insurance and Payment Information
We will go over the entire cost of treatment, contact your insurance provider to see what coverage is available and discuss payment options, all before you leave our office. We want you to walk out the door feeling informed and ready to make a decision, if you haven’t already.
Our Paying for Treatment page has more information about how we make braces affordable.
