<div>
<p>Your first consultation includes a comprehensive evaluation of your teeth, bite, and jaw. This allows us to fully understand your smile and recommend the best treatment approach.</p>
<p>During your visit, we will typically:</p>
<ul>
<li>Perform a visual exam of your teeth and gums</li>
<li>Take X rays to evaluate what is happening below the surface</li>
<li>Capture photos and digital scans of your smile</li>
<li>Talk through your concerns and what you would like to improve</li>
</ul>
<p>This detailed approach helps us build a clear picture of your orthodontic needs.</p>

<div>
<p>After your exam, your orthodontist will walk you through their findings and explain your treatment options. Whether you are a candidate for braces or Invisalign, you will receive a customized plan designed around your goals.</p>
<p>There is no pressure and no rush. This is your time to ask questions and fully understand your options.</p>
