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, the American Association of Orthodontists (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 which treatments you’ll need, if any.

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

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

Our patients are stoked about their new smiles

My daughter had a very noticeable crossbite and was constantly biting her cheeks while chewing. Our previous orthodontist attempted to get her approved for braces through insurance, but after the initial denial, they told us it wasn’t worth appealing. Thankfully, our new dentist referred us to Dr. Speaks. From the very first visit, Dr. Speaks immediately recognized the issue and took the time to thoroughly explain the problem, the treatment process, and what we could expect. His team submitted the insurance claim, and when it was denied, they didn’t stop there. They fought for us by filing a strong appeal and resubmitting all the necessary documentation. Thanks to their persistence and attention to detail, my daughter was approved and is now on her way to a beautiful new smile. We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Speaks and his entire team, especially Dahlia for their dedication and hard work. Beyond getting the insurance approval, they treat every patient with genuine kindness, patience, and respect. We’re so happy our paths crossed with this wonderful practice! Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:We are thrilled to hear that you found our staff to be kind and accommodating. Our team works diligently to ensure everyone has a comfortable experience from start to finish. Thank you for the review.

They are so great! Incredibly thorough, easy to book with, and work with your schedule!
Response from the owner:We appreciate your kind review and your continued support.
Bethany D.
Dr. Speaks and his team were amazing during the duration of my treatment. He worked with my surgeon during the process for my double jaw surgery and together they created a plan that saved all my teeth! I’m so happy with my smile. 10/10 would recommend.
Response from the owner: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!
Bean I.
We’ve been with Speaks Orthodontics for three years and every visit was a breeze. The service is impeccable and every issue and question is always addressed promptly. My kids felt welcomed in the clinic and were always greeted with smiles and of course looked forward to playing Mr Pac-Man. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your feedback! Our team is dedicated to fostering a welcoming atmosphere, and it’s rewarding to know that our efforts resonate with the community. Your support is greatly appreciated!

What to Bring to Your First Visit

When preparing for your first visit with us, be sure to bring any relevant dental records or x-rays from your dentist. This will help our orthodontist assess your current oral health and determine the best treatment plan for you. Additionally, don't forget to bring your insurance information and any necessary forms or paperwork that may be required.

It's also a good idea to come prepared with any questions or concerns you may have about orthodontic treatment. Our team is here to address any worries you may have and ensure you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process. By being proactive and organized, you can make the most out of your first visit with us.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

During your initial consultation, our orthodontist will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, jaw, and bite. This may involve taking digital photos and x-rays to get a comprehensive view of your oral health. You will have the opportunity to discuss your treatment goals and any specific issues you may be experiencing with your smile.

Our team will then walk you through your personalized treatment plan, outlining the steps involved and answering any questions you may have. We strive to make sure you feel comfortable and confident in your decision to pursue orthodontic treatment with us. Your first visit is just the beginning of your journey to a healthier, happier smile.
