Your First Visit

Your First Visit

We understand that orthodontic treatment is an investment, and we believe you should have total confidence in the people you will entrust with designing your smile. We see your new patient consultation as our opportunity to "wow" you with the Newell Orthodontics experience and to ensure you are fully educated about your treatment options.

Your complimentary consultation will give you the opportunity to meet Dr. Bill Newell and our team, learn more about orthodontics, receive a complete orthodontic evaluation, find out whether orthodontic treatment is recommended, and, if so, which treatment options will best meet your needs.

New Patient Consultation

During your first visit to our office, we will:

  • Introduce you to our team members and give you a tour of our office
  • Perform a thorough orthodontic evaluation, including digital X-rays and photographs of your teeth and face
  • Discuss whether orthodontic treatment is recommended by Dr. Newell and, if so, determine the most appropriate time to begin treatment
  • Create a customized orthodontic treatment plan that is tailored to meet your specific needs and desires
  • Explain your orthodontic insurance benefits and design a payment plan that fits your budget
  • Answer any questions you may have
  • Complete your diagnostic records if you are ready to begin treatment

What happens next?

Once your diagnostic records and treatment plan are complete, we will schedule your first appointment to put your braces on or deliver your first set of Invisalign® aligners. Your first appointment generally lasts one hour and is one of our longer appointment times.  

After you begin treatment, your orthodontic appointments will typically be scheduled every 6 to 10 weeks, and they generally last between 20 and 30 minutes. Our team makes it a priority to see every patient on time, and we will work with you to make sure your appointments are as convenient as possible.

Dr. Newell and our clinical team will visit with you during each appointment and will update you on the progress of your treatment throughout your orthodontic journey.
