Your First Visit

Our Dedicated Denver Orthodontist Helps You Smile Big

Our greatest goal is to give you the healthy, straight, and beautiful smile that you’ve always wanted. We understand that choosing to receive orthodontic care is a big decision, and we respect your reasons for wanting to improve the way you look and feel. Our practice will work with you every step of the way to make sure that your orthodontic care is as rewarding as possible. We utilize the latest technology and offer a variety of safe and gentle treatment options designed to give you the customized, individual care you deserve.

Every Smile Starts With An Initial Consultation

Your initial consultation will give you the opportunity to meet our team, learn more about orthodontics, receive a complete initial exam, and find out which treatment options will best meet your needs.

During your initial consultation, we will:

  • Review your dental and medical history forms
  • Provide a complete oral exam, with X-rays, to determine if treatment is necessary
  • Help you create a customized treatment plan.
  • Discuss all financial information, insurance options, and payment plans

Our team will be glad to answer any questions you may have and provide all of the information that you need to determine which treatment option is right for you. Please contact our practice to schedule your initial consultation.

What Happens After The Initial Consultation?

After your initial consultation, you’ll be one step closer to achieving the smile you’ve always wanted! We’ll schedule your first appointment, and your doctor will place your initial (or full) braces or deliver your initial clear aligners. This appointment generally takes about 90 minutes, 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 eight 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. We work to keep morning appointments at a minimum, but there are times when you will need to come in earlier for longer appointments. Most of your appointments, however, will be short and can be scheduled after school.

We understand that problems can arise. If you’re running late or need to reschedule, please let us know, and we will do everything we can to accommodate you. When you’re ready to schedule your first appointment, contact our practice, and our friendly scheduling coordinator will assist you. We’re looking forward to working with you.

Visiting The Dentist During Orthodontic Treatment

It is very important that you continue to visit your family dentist 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 help him provide the best care possible.

Affordable Payment Plans

The cost of your orthodontic treatment may vary depending on your individual needs and treatment plan. Our staff will discuss the cost of your treatment with you—along with your available payment plan options—so that you are able to make the best choice for you and your smile. We’ll work with you to create a payment plan that fits your budget, and you will know what to expect before beginning treatment.

Your smile is yours forever, and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to receive the best orthodontic care whenever you need it. Our practice accepts most major credit cards and insurance plans. If you have insurance that will be covering any portion of your orthodontic treatment, our staff is always available to help you understand your insurance as well as file claims and paperwork to receive your orthodontic benefit.

Please let us know if you have any questions about your insurance coverage and how we can help to make your entire orthodontic experience a pleasant one.

Tom G.
I can't say enough good things about Dr Speaks and his staff. As an adult, I wasn't thrilled at the idea of doing aligners to straighten my smile. However, my experience with this practice made it as painless and efficient as possible. Dr Speaks got my teeth looking better than I could have imagined way quicker than I anticipated. Additionally, they operate like a well oiled machine. My appointments always started on time and they consistently had me in and out the door in no more than about 10 minutes per visit. I can't imagine having had a better experience.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your experience with Dr. Speaks and our team exceeded your expectations. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we appreciate your trust in us!
Rebecca N.
Dr Speaks and his team have to be one of the best family ortho teams in the state! We are so happy we found them after reading other people’s reviews, and they did not disappoint. We drive 2 hours each way from the mountains of Colorado to be treated by Dr Speaks. He is very knowledgeable, caring and took great care of my 13 year old for the past two years. She now has the most beautiful set of teeth and she cannot stop smiling! Now our 9 yr old is under Speaks care and we can’t wait for her perfect set of teeth to start forming too. I’d give them 10 stars if I could and highly recommend this crew.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Rebecca! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family have had such positive experiences with Dr. Speaks and our team. Your satisfaction means the world to us!
Adisa R.
Dr.Speaks and the team at Speaks Orthodontics are absolutely amazing! Their service is incredible, they provide person centered individualized plan of care for patients. They are experts! I am very pleased and beyond grateful for my new smile. Look no further and contact Speaks Orthodontics. Forever grateful.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Adisa! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with our team. Your satisfaction and new smile mean the world to us. We look forward to continuing to serve you!
Eri I.
I'm incredibly thankful for Dr. Speaks and team for taking care of me in my invisalign journey. They were professional, precise, and majorly supportive even when I wasn't the easiest patient (traveling, and not wearing my aligners enough, causing extra work on their side).

If you are looking for braces or invisalign, look no further. These guys ROCK!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Dr. Speaks and the team. Your journey is important to us, and we appreciate your trust in our care.
Jude G.
