A virtual orthodontic consultation allows you to connect with one of our orthodontists online for an initial assessment.
During this remote appointment, we’ll review your concerns, evaluate your smile, and offer professional guidance on possible treatment options.
It’s a convenient, no-pressure way to find out if orthodontic care is right for you – especially if you're short on time or just beginning to explore your options.
Getting started is easy. Just share a few details about yourself, upload photos of your smile, and we’ll schedule a virtual appointment at a time that works for you.
Start by capturing eight photos of your smile, following the examples below. For best results, use natural light near a window or make sure you're in a brightly lit space.
Next, complete the virtual consultation request form below. Don’t forget to include your contact information and upload the photos of your smile that you just took.
You will join your orthodontist for a virtual call to talk about your smile goals and any concerns. They’ll review your photos and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
Ready to move forward? We’ll book an in-office visit to finalize your treatment plan, go over costs, and get everything set up. It’s the first step toward your new smile!
