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.

Our patients are stoked about their new smiles

Jax S.
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.
Maya Q.
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!

Scheduling Appointments

At Speaks Orthodontics, we understand that your time is valuable. That’s why we strive to make scheduling appointments as convenient as possible for our patients. Most appointments, including adjustments and check-ups, are short and can be scheduled after school or work hours. If you ever need to reschedule or are running late, just let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your schedule.

Our friendly scheduling coordinator is ready to assist you in setting up your appointments. We will work with you to find appointment times that fit your schedule and ensure that you receive the care you need in a timely manner. Your smile journey is important to us, and we are committed to making the process as easy and stress-free as possible.

Visiting The Dentist During Orthodontic Treatment

It’s important to continue seeing your general dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings while undergoing orthodontic treatment. Your dentist will be able to monitor your overall dental health, address any issues that may arise, and work in coordination with your orthodontist to ensure the best possible outcome for your smile. Maintaining good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing and flossing regularly, is also crucial during orthodontic treatment to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

If you have any concerns about your dental health during orthodontic treatment, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team at Speaks Orthodontics. We can provide guidance on how to care for your teeth and gums while wearing braces or aligners, and we are here to support you every step of the way on your journey to a healthier, happier smile.
