What Happens at Your First Orthodontist Appointment?
When you arrive for your first appointment, our cheerful front desk team will welcome you and make the check‑in process quick. We’ll take diagnostic photos and comfortable digital scans (no goopy impressions!), then review your medical and dental history.
Next, you’ll meet with Dr. Eric Vela or Dr. Amy Vela to talk through your goals and questions. Your orthodontist will explain what we see, outline treatment options (self-ligating braces or clear aligners), and discuss timing. If treatment makes sense, we’ll review financing and insurance details so you know costs before you decide. Many patients choose a same‑day start for braces or a quick scan for aligners!
What to Do Before Your First Visit
A little preparation before your first appointment helps everything go smoothly. Before your first appointment:
- Jot down any questions you want to ask your orthodontist
- Plan for about an hour at our office, so nothing feels rushed
- Choose the office that’s best for you and map your route (Our offices are in Corpus Christi and Alice, TX)
- Bring your ID, insurance information, and any past dental/orthodontic scans
