Your First Orthodontic Visit & Personalized Treatment Plan

Each patient’s treatment is unique. At your complimentary first visit, Dr. Simons or Dr O’Friel will discuss treatment options, approximate treatment duration, and costs. At this visit, Dr. Simons or Dr O’Friel will examine your teeth, bite, facial form, profile, and jaw joints. If an X-ray is indicated, there will be a charge for this service. If treatment is indicated in the future but not at present, Dr. Simons or Dr O’Friel will recommend that you be placed under observation, returning for a re-evaluation after allowing for further dental development. This approach equates to less time in treatment overall and allows us to initiate treatment at precisely the right time for the most efficient results.

Diagnostic Records and a Treatment Consult

If and when treatment is indicated, appointments will be scheduled for diagnostic records, including photographs, X-rays, scans or impressions, and bite records. Dr. Simons or Dr O’Friel measures and studies these diagnostic records to determine your unique treatment plan.

Approximately 2 weeks after your diagnostic record appointment, a treatment consult appointment will be scheduled to discuss your detailed treatment plan. At this appointment, Dr. Simons or Dr O’Friel provide a complete clinical diagnosis regarding the nature of the patient’s problem, a detailed treatment plan, and payment options. A diagnostic records and consult fee, which is separate from the treatment fee, is assessed.

Shannon Simmons and her staff are amazing. We have been through two phases of orthodontics with her office and my daughter has beautiful teeth and has never felt better about her smile. The staff is always friendly, knows about you personally and always makes you feel welcome when you're there. They are very efficient and gets you in and out for your appointments quickly. I highly recommend them for anyone needing orthodontic work.

Dr. Simons is so professional and specializes in providing excellent orthodontic care. For my first visit, I had a consultation to determine if I was a candidate for Invisalign. It was very informative and allowed me to have a clear picture of what to expect in the following months. During the pandemic, she followed up to ensure I adjusted to my new Invisalign trays in between my appointments. I would definitely recommend her if you are looking to improve your smile. She completely transformed my smile.
