What to Expect, Step by Step

We keep your first visit simple and informative. Here is how it works:

1. A Warm Welcome and Conversation

We start by getting to know you. Dr. Rodriguez and our team will listen to your concerns and goals, whether that is fixing crowding, closing a gap, correcting a bite, or simply feeling more confident about your smile.

2. A Comprehensive Exam and Digital Scan

Next, Dr. Rodriguez examines your teeth, bite, and jaw. We use a comfortable iTero digital scanner, no messy molds, to capture a precise 3D image of your smile, along with any digital images needed for an accurate picture of what is happening beneath the surface.

3. Your Personalized Plan

Finally, Dr. Rodriguez explains what he found and your options in plain language. If treatment is recommended, you will receive a clear plan, an estimated timeline, and a transparent cost breakdown with payment options, so you leave knowing exactly what comes next. There is never any pressure.

When Should You Schedule a First Visit?

For children, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7, sometimes called the rule of 7. At this age, Dr. Rodriguez can spot developing issues early, even if treatment is not needed yet. For teens and adults, the best time for a first visit is whenever you start thinking about your smile, because it is never too early or too late to get expert guidance.

Will My Child Need Treatment Right Away?

Not always, and that is perfectly fine. Many children who come in for a first visit are simply not ready for treatment, and Dr. Rodriguez will tell you so honestly. In those cases, we monitor your child’s growth over time at no cost, so treatment begins only when the timing is ideal. You will always get straightforward, in-your-best-interest guidance.
