Safer care with virtual consultations
Up until recently, you had to travel to a new orthodontist office for your initial consultation. Technology wasn’t yet at the point where orthodontists could assess your smile, send you cost estimates and begin your orthodontic treatment plan through your phone – all in a timely manner.
During the COVID pandemic, when everyone’s health and safety were at the forefront of our minds, telemedicine and virtual care took off! We started offering virtual orthodontic consultations as a way of still serving our community by providing quality orthodontics – in a way that was safe and convenient for new patients.
Whether you’re looking for a way to minimize in-person contact, or you have school/work/children duties that make it difficult to take time out of your day to drive to an orthodontist, completing a virtual smile assessment is the perfect way to start the treatment process conveniently on your terms.
What to expect with a virtual orthodontic consultation
When you complete a virtual orthodontic consultation, you’ll get to connect with one of our orthodontists and find out if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign® or braces – without leaving your home!
Yes, you can start the Invisalign treatment process right from your home! Virtual consultations apply to all types of orthodontic treatments.
To get started, all you have to do is
- Head over to our Virtual Consultations page
- Tell us a little about yourself or the person who needs treatment, by filling in the form
- Snap a few photos and hit “Send!”
Within 24-48 hours, you’ll receive your personalized smile assessment and cost estimate from Dr. Dunn or Dr. Wiewiora!
Then, all you have to do is schedule a complimentary, in-office exam to come see us and get ready to bring your smile to life! By the time you visit us for your in-person orthodontic exam, you’ll be one step ahead of the game.
Benefits of virtual orthodontic consultation
Virtual orthodontic consultations are convenient, easily-accessible from anywhere with an internet connection, and free!
You don’t have to take time off work or school to visit an orthodontist and start the treatment process. Instead, you can kick back on the couch and complete a virtual consultation at a time that works best for you.
If you live in a rural or remote area, virtual consultations can be a convenient solution for you to find out if you’re a good candidate for orthodontics.
A free virtual consultation is an excellent way for you to explore your treatment options, get a better understanding of what to expect during the orthodontic treatment process, and connect with an orthodontist with no travel commitment.
