Consultation Options

To make your life easier, we have two options for getting started with OrthoArts. Order a Grin Scope and get a virtual consultation, or stick to the old-fashioned way and schedule an in-person appointment.

Virtual

For a virtual consultation, you’ll need a Grin Scope, which will allow you to take photos of your teeth from home. You can either pick up a Grin Scope from our office, have one mailed to you, or, if someone in your family already has one, just use theirs. You’ll also need to download the Grin app so you can submit your photos. Once you’ve sent your photos in, Dr. G will take a look and email you with a recommended treatment plan, a run-down of the different options (InSmile, KLOwen Stride Braces, Clear Aligners, etc.), and our treatment coordinator will provide a cost estimate.

In-person

If that fancy tech isn’t for you, we’re always happy to see you in-person. At an in-person consultation, you’ll get to meet our OrthoArts team. We’ll take photos, a digital scan and X-rays of your teeth, then Dr. G will take a look and recommend a treatment plan, complete with a cost estimate and a run-down of the different options.

What’s the difference?

The main difference is that a virtual consultation takes place on your own time, from home, whereas an in-person appointment means you have to come into the office. If you already have a Grin Scope at home, or if you’re wondering how in the world you’re going to fit an orthodontic appointment into your already hectic month, virtual may be the way to go. Of course, you’ll still need to come in before getting your braces on, but a virtual consultation can be a great way to quickly and easily answer the question of what your treatment options are, plus an idea of how long treatment will take and how much it will cost.

Comparison of Braces and Clear Aligners

Braces use wires to gradually move teeth into proper alignment, while clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays designed for subtle and gentle adjustments. Braces are often recommended for more complex orthodontic needs, while aligners offer a removable, comfortable, and nearly invisible option. Our team is here to help you choose the treatment that best matches your goals and lifestyle.

Clear Aligners as an Alternative

Clear aligners offer a discreet and comfortable way to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, they are removable, making it easier to eat and maintain daily oral hygiene. Let us help you explore this modern solution for achieving a beautifully aligned smile.

FAQ

What should I consider when choosing an orthodontist?

Choosing the right orthodontist involves a few important considerations. Begin by reviewing their credentials and level of experience. Think about the practice location and office hours to be sure they work with your schedule. Notice the office atmosphere and how comfortable you feel during your visit. A good orthodontist should communicate clearly, help you feel relaxed, and take the time to explain all treatment options and costs in detail.

What should I expect during my first orthodontic consultation?

At your first appointment usually includes several key steps. The orthodontist will carefully examine your teeth and jaw alignment and may take X-rays or digital images. They will discuss your concerns and smile goals, review possible treatment options, and provide an estimated treatment timeline. You will also learn about costs and payment options. This visit is the perfect time to ask questions and gain a clear picture of what your orthodontic journey may look like.

When is the right time for a child’s first orthodontic visit?

The recommended age for a child’s first orthodontic evaluation is around seven years old. At this stage, both baby teeth and permanent teeth are present, making it easier to spot potential issues early. An early visit does not always mean treatment will start right away. Instead, it allows the orthodontist to monitor development and plan the most effective treatment timing if needed.
