On your first visit to our Langley orthodontic office, you'll have a consultation with your orthodontist, during which he will determine the nature of your misalignment issues, and review the orthodontic treatment options available for your needs with you.
Your first consultation is an opportunity for our team to get to know you and your goals for your smile, and learn about the condition of your teeth.
To make sure you have enough time to fill out the necessary medical and dental history forms, please arrive for your scheduled appointment 5 or 10 minutes early.
The Forms
Before your consultation can begin, we'll need you to fill out medical and dental history forms for us to keep on file. These forms give us the information we need about the state of your oral and overall health. This allows us to address your needs as specifically as possible.

The Examination & Consultation
When you have finished filling out your forms, your orthodontist will sit down with you to discuss your treatment needs and goals. He will then thoroughly examine of your mouth, jaws, and head, and take x-rays.
Once the examination is complete, your orthodontist will recommend the treatment options he thinks will work best for you based on what he has learned about you and your oral health.
He will answer any questions you may have, and provide you with the advice and facts you need to make an informed choice about your orthodontic treatment.
If you’re ready to initiate treatment straight away, the orthodontist will take steps to prepare for it. Otherwise, you can go home, consider your options, and initiate treatment when you’ve made up your mind.
You can book your next appointment at the front desk before you leave, or call us to book at a later date, as you prefer.
