What To Expect
Your First Appointment

Welcome to Your First Consultation at First Ortho!

Your first visit will last about an hour. Dr. Patel will begin with a friendly conversation to understand your concerns, goals, and how orthodontic treatment can fit into your lifestyle or schedule. This step is essential in creating a personalized treatment plan. Before your appointment, consider the following questions:

  • What concerns you about your teeth’s current position?
  • What changes would you like to see?
  • On a scale of 1-10, how close to a perfect result do you want to be?
  • Do you have preferences regarding the appearance of your braces?
  • Are you working within a specific timeline or budget?

Dr Patel will then take a series of photographs, X-rays, and 3D scans to assess your teeth and bite from different angles. This will be followed by a short examination in the dental chair. These steps help gather detailed information to ensure the best possible treatment plan.

Afterward, you’ll discuss the best type of braces for you, the treatment process, and associated costs. Dr Patel will also share examples of previous cases similar to yours, allowing you to see potential results and improvements in both appearance and oral health.

If you decide to move forward, we will prepare a detailed orthodontic report. This comprehensive document outlines your treatment plan and is shared with your dentist or any other relevant healthcare professionals.

The following appointments for your brace fittings will then be scheduled according to your plan.

Thank you for choosing First Ortho—we look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve a confident, healthy smile!

I highly recommend Dr Patel and First Ortho!

For anyone that is considering orthodontics, regardless of age, I highly recommend Dr Patel and First Ortho! I was actually a patient here almost 10 years ago and I decided to revisit due to their high quality of care.

Claire Franklin
I feel so lucky to have Mr Patel.

I personally don’t think you really wont find another orthodontist as exceptional as Mr Patel. I would recommend him and his team to anyone and will use him for both my children when they need treatment.

Claudia Leachman
Dr Patel & his team couldn’t do more for me!

The change in my teeth already is amazing (especially my lower arch) and I’d recommend this practise to anyone looking for a highly talented orthodontist.

I personally recommend him

Dr Patel has been my orthodontist for years and I personally recommend him as he is the best at what he does. How he cares for your teeth and the excellence in the whole orthodontist surgery itself.

Always so welcoming & very thorough

My son can see my beaming smile instead of me covering my face, hiding what used to be my biggest insecurity. So thankful for all of Dr Patels care & service.
