We welcome patients from Katy, Cinco Ranch, Fulshear, Cane Island, and beyond.
How Long Is the First Visit?
Your first appointment typically lasts 45 minutes to an hour. During this time, we’ll take diagnostic records, evaluate your needs, and provide personalized recommendations — all in a relaxed and friendly setting.
What to Expect at Your Consultation
Here’s what we’ll cover during your first visit:
1. Warm Welcome & Office Tour
We’ll greet you, verify your paperwork, and give you a quick tour of our office so you feel right at home.
2. Diagnostic Records
Using modern imaging technology, we may take:
- Photos of your smile
- Digital X-rays (if needed)
- 3D scans to assess tooth and jaw positioning
These tools help us create a precise treatment plan tailored to your needs.
3. Comprehensive Evaluation
One of our board-certified orthodontists — Dr. Patricia Tran or Dr. Matthew Ng — will perform a thorough exam and discuss any concerns or goals you have for your smile.
4. Personalized Treatment Plan
If treatment is recommended, we’ll walk you through:
- Your options (e.g., braces, clear aligners, or appliances)
- Approximate timeline
- Cost and payment options
We’ll take time to answer all your questions so you can feel confident moving forward.
