Your First Visit
At Scott Orthodontics, we know that your first visit is a big step, and we’re honored you’re considering us for your smile journey. Whether you’re coming in for yourself or your child, our goal is to make you feel informed, comfortable, and confident from the moment you walk through our doors.
Your initial consultation is all about getting to know you, understanding your goals, and helping you take the first step toward a healthier, more confident smile.
Here’s what you can expect at your first appointment:
- Warm welcome and office tour – We’ll introduce you to our friendly team and make you feel right at home.
- Digital X-rays and photos – If needed, we’ll take diagnostic images to help us get a clear view of your smile.
- Digital scan with iTero – No goopy impressions here! Our iTero scanner creates a quick, comfortable 3D model of your teeth.
- Comprehensive exam by Dr. Scott – He’ll evaluate your bite, alignment, and jaw function, and determine if now is the right time for treatment.
- Personalized treatment plan – We’ll walk you through your options (braces, Invisalign, or early treatment) and answer all your questions.
- Flexible financing & insurance review – Our team will explain costs, payment plans, and insurance coverage to make treatment affordable for your family.
There’s no pressure and no rush—just honest answers and expert advice from a team that genuinely cares about your smile and your experience.
