Your First Visit

Home » Patient Resources » Your First Visit

At Steele Creek Orthodontics our greatest goal is to give you the healthy, straight smile you’ve always wanted. We understand that choosing to receive orthodontic care is a pretty big decision, and we understand your reasons for wanting to improve the way you look and feel.

Our practice will work with you to make sure your orthodontic care is to the highest standard possible. We utilize the latest technology and offer a variety of safe and gentle treatment options to give you customized care.

The Process Begins with Your Initial Consultation!

At your initial consultation, you will meet our team, receive a complete initial exam, and discuss which treatment options will best meet your needs. Here’s what to expect:

  • We will review your dental and medical history
  • Perform a complete oral examination (with X-rays)
  • Help you create a treatment plan
  • Discuss financial information, insurance, and payment plan options

What Happens After the Initial Consultation?

After your consultation, we will schedule your first appointment and our orthodontic team will place your new orthodontic appliance. This appointment takes about an hour, and during this time our team will be available to make sure you are as comfortable as possible

Scheduling Future Appointments

Scheduling appointments about every four to eight weeks is an essential part of orthodontic treatment. When scheduling your appointments, please let us know which days/times work best for you.

If you’re running late or need to reschedule, just let us know and we will do what we can to best accommodate you.

Visiting the Dentist During Orthodontic Treatment

It is important that you continue to visit your dentist once every 6 months for cleanings and checkups, even during your orthodontic treatment. If any extra dental care is required, we’ll be happy to coordinate with your dentist to make sure you receive the best care possible.

Virginia M.
The orthodontist here seems genuinely detail-oriented. During my consultation, they noticed issues with my bite that two previous dentists never mentioned. I appreciate that they don’t rush adjustments just to move patients through faster. Sometimes the music in the waiting room is oddly loud, but that’s a minor complaint compared to how well the treatment has gone. After eight months, my jaw tension has improved along with the appearance of my teeth.

Eartha W.
I would highly recommend Steele Creek Orthodontics to anyone looking for top-tier orthodontic care and an amazing team.
My granddaughter Justice and I always feel welcomed the moment we walk through the door. The staff is friendly, professional, and the atmosphere is always positive and organized.
Today we thought Justice would finally be getting her braces off, but Dr. Edelman said he needed to tweak a couple of things first before removing them. He reassured her that they would be off very soon. What made me smile was that Justice was completely okay with that! She says he’s funny and that he makes her feel comfortable. She also loves that he takes the time to explain everything to her first before talking with me.
As a grandmother, that level of care and respect means a lot. Thank you for always taking such great care of your patients.
