Am I required to book an appointment with the provider you recommend?

Nope. There’s zero obligation. Our goal is to give you trusted options, so you can make the best choice for yourself or your child.

At what age should my child see an orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early evaluations help identify any issues with jaw growth or tooth alignment and determine if early treatment is necessary.

Do I need a referral from my dentist?

No referral is needed! While many patients are referred by their general dentist, you can schedule a consultation with us directly — no referral required.
