How To Prepare For Your First Visit With Us

At Speaks Orthodontics, we want your time in our office to be about so much more than just straightening your teeth. We want your orthodontic treatment to be a memorable experience, so we go above and beyond to make sure we exceed your expectations. Here’s what you should expect during your first visit with us:

When to visit:
In addition to seeing the dentist from infancy, theย American Association of Orthodontistsย (AAO) recommends that all children meet with an orthodontist at the age of seven for a check-up. By this time, an orthodontist can decide whichย treatmentsย youโ€™ll need, if any.

What to expect:
โ€“ A review of your medical and dental history.
โ€“ An oral examination. If necessary, digital photos and x-rays will be taken.
โ€“ An outline of treatment options.
โ€“ Question and answers about treatment plan options.
โ€“ Explanation of financial obligations and payment plans offered.

Why choose Speaks Orthodontics:
โ€“ We use the latest technology.
โ€“ We pride ourselves on our uncompromising attention to detail.
โ€“ Youโ€™ll be fully informed about your entire treatment plan โ€“ from your initial consultation to your final retainer check.
โ€“ Our office offers free Wi-Fi, delicious coffee, movies, and fun music.

Best ortho of all times. Seriously! I went to 3 others who told me all sorts of weird stuff and he had no problem moving my wisdom teeth over to missing teeth spots which saved me like 3 implants in the long term. Super sweet office and knowledgeable doc! I am going to miss them!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that our approach helped you avoid implants and that you enjoyed our office atmosphere. Weโ€™ll miss you too and wish you all the best!

I visited Speaks Orthodontics to straighten my teeth before my upcoming wedding. I was originally quoted 18 months for treatment, I finished in just 12. The practice is clean, the techs are professional and kind, and Dr. Speaks is very talented. I appreciate that he is direct but remains supportive and encouraging. Highly recommend this practice!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Lauren! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience and the results achieved ahead of your wedding. Our team strives to provide excellent care, and your recommendation means so much to us!

Dr. Speaks and team have been so wonderful throughout the process of my Spark Aligners! They are incredibly consistent and compassionate. The staff has always been so welcoming and kind - always taking the time to answer any questions I have and making each appointment feeling personable and not rushed. I'm so grateful for the team and smile with confidence these days.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Annie! Your kind words about our team's consistency and compassion truly inspire us. We're thrilled to hear you're confident in your smile. We look forward to seeing you at your next appointment!

I went in for a free consultation for jaw pain. Dr. Speaks was incredibly thorough and spent time patiently explaining what he was seeing and teaching me how to treat it. Turns out I do not need orthodontia! The front desk staff were very nice and Dalia, who is the treatment coordinator, was also very kind. 10/10 from me!

Oh, and my grandson is being treated by Dr. Speaks and he and his parents are very happy so far.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Leila! Weโ€™re thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Dr. Speaks and our team. It's great to know your grandson is also receiving excellent care. We appreciate your trust in us!
Ryan B.
Fixed my uneven teeth and midlign with sparks aligners. Great staff and reception!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Ryan! We're thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience with our team and that the aligners made such a difference. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we appreciate your kind words!
