How to Choose an Orthodontist

Your First Visit

Thank you for considering Thomas Orthodontics to take care of your orthodontic needs.

We offer free consultations to evaluate your concerns. Your first visit will include an examination to determine what type of orthodontic treatment will be best for you or your child. If a radiograph (x-ray) is needed, we will include that at no charge.

We will take the time to answer any questions you have and help you make an informed decision. We strive to make this a comfortable and stress-free visit for all of our valued guests.

During your first visit, we will ask that you fill out some paperwork. To save time, these forms are available below for you to print and fill out at home, if desired, or you can fill them out at our office.

Choosing an orthodontist office for the beauty of your families smile or your child’s smile is an extremely important decision that needs to be made correctly. Orthodontic care can be short and relatively painless or a long process, so you’ll want to make sure you are choosing the right doctor for your needs. The orthodontic experience is something you’ll remember every time you look in the mirror the rest of your life, so make sure it’s a good smile looking back at you. We are an established practice with years of experience, good reviews and a friendly environment. Placing your trust in Thomas Orthodontics will be a decision you never regret.

Picking the right orthodontist may seem like a tough task for someone who has never been through it, so it’s a great idea to engage our other customers for a recommendation from someone who has been through our office system. Whether it’s a friend, co-worker, member of the community, or family member, they’ll tell you the story of their experience at Thomas Orthodontics. Your general dentist also refers patients to orthodontists so ask if they know us. If your children’s friends have braces, Clear Aligner Therapy or retainers ask which orthodontist they used. We really want you to feel comfortable while making this decision.
