What to Expect

  • The first visit is calm, friendly, and thorough—usually about 1 hour. We take detailed photos, assess breathing, jaw development, and facial symmetry, and explain everything clearly. You’ll walk out with answers, not confusion.

  • It varies depending on your needs. Some plans take a few months, others are longer-term. We always provide a clear timeline and walk you through the entire process.

  • Most patients are seen every 4–6 weeks. We adjust this based on your treatment plan to ensure steady progress without unnecessary visits.

  • We’re out-of-network so we can provide the highest quality, personalized care. We’ll provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance, and we’re happy to walk you through it.

  • We focus on comfort and compliance. Many of our appliances are small, removable, or even invisible.

  • Never. Our visits are designed to be unhurried and collaborative. We take time to listen, educate, and guide—because your story and your well-being deserve that.
