We look forward to meeting you on your first visit to our office.  During this time, we will help you get acquainted with our office and learn about your orthodontic treatment.  We understand that each patient's orthodontic treatment is different, and we promise to give you the personal attention you deserve.

Your first orthodontic visit will consist of a detailed examination, a screening digital panoramic x-ray and photographs.  This important visit will address your orthodontic needs to determine if this is the proper time to begin treatment.  If treatment is indicated, diagnostic records including digital study models and additional digital x-rays will be taken to detail your specific orthodontic treatment plan.

Dr. Tavarez will then provide a complete clinical diagnosis regarding the nature of the problem, a summary of the findings and a detailed plan that outlines your treatment, goals and estimated fees.  We encourage questions from both the patient and the parent, and as such, we provide ample time to answer your questions.
