Your initial appointment will consist of a full series of digital photographs and any digital x-rays as needed. You will then receive a thorough clinical examination by either of our highly qualified orthodontists, Dr. Cooney and Dr. Tyner.

During the initial examination for each patient we will address any questions you may have and cover the basics of orthodontic treatment.
