During your consultation, we will take digital X-rays and 3D scans of your teeth and jaws. The doctor will perform a thorough clinical exam to assess your bite and alignment. We’ll then sit down with you to discuss your goals, review all available treatment options (like traditional braces or clear aligners), and provide a clear timeline and financial breakdown.
Deciding to straighten your smile is a big step, and it starts with a clear, honest, and pressure-free evaluation. At Advanced Dental Care, our comprehensive orthodontic consultations utilize cutting-edge 3D imaging to give you a complete picture of your bite, jaw alignment, and treatment options.
Whether you are considering traditional braces or discreet clear aligners, our Toledo team provides a transparent, customized roadmap. We focus on not just the aesthetics of your smile, but the long-term function of your bite, ensuring you get the most efficient and effective treatment plan possible.
1. Health History & Goal Discussion
We start by listening to your concerns, discussing your smile goals, and reviewing your dental and medical history.
2. Advanced 3D Scanning & X-Rays
We take low-radiation digital X-rays and precise 3D intraoral scans to thoroughly analyze your tooth positioning, jaw joints, and bone structure.
3. Comprehensive Clinical Exam
The doctor performs a detailed visual examination of your bite, facial profile, and jaw alignment to identify any underlying functional issues.
4. Treatment Options Review
We sit down with you to discuss the best options for your specific case (such as ceramic braces or clear aligners), explaining the pros and cons of each.
5. Timeline & Financial Breakdown
We provide a clear, transparent overview of the estimated treatment duration, what to expect at each phase, and a customized financial plan to fit your budget.
The American Association of Orthodontists strongly recommends that every child have an orthodontic evaluation by age 7, even if no obvious problems are visible to parents. This allows us to catch developing issues while the jaw is still growing.
