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.

I recently completed my Spark aligner treatment with Speaks Orthodontics, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! I started with a severe open bite, and Dr. Speaks and his team were able to significantly improve both my bite and my smile. My original treatment timeline was 18–24 months, and I was able to finish in about 22 months, right within the expected timeframe. Throughout the entire process, Dr. Speaks and his team were incredibly helpful, responsive, and attentive to any questions or concerns I had. I also experienced very little pain or discomfort during treatment, which made the experience that much better. The celebration and gift at the end of treatment were a fun, thoughtful personal touch and a great way to wrap up the experience! If you’re looking for an orthodontist who provides high-quality care, delivers great results, and makes you feel supported throughout the process, I highly recommend Dr. Speaks and his team. They exceeded my expectations, and I’m so glad I chose them for my treatment! Thank you for everything!

I’ve experienced 4 different orthodontists for my kids and Speaks is undeniably the best. Such thorough, smart and detailed care for my son. Can’t recommend him enough!
Jj W.
We come to speaks orthodontics for both of our kids more often than we would like. However, if you have to come someplace this often, this is a great place to visit. The staff is very friendly, they are accommodating with schedule changes and last minute issues. Dr Speaks is very charismatic and friendly!
