So you've scheduled your first visit to Torrey Hills Orthodontics! We can't wait to see you! Before your appointment, we want to make sure your experience is as smooth and comfortable as possible. A typical orthodontic appointment is an essential part of your journey to a healthier, more confident smile. Here's a glimpse of what happens during your visit to our San Diego orthodontist.

 

Arrival and Check-In

Upon arriving to our office, you'll be warmly greeted by our friendly front desk staff. We strive to keep wait times to a minimum, so after checking in, you may have just a few minutes to relax in our comfortable waiting area. Since it's your first visit, we may ask you to complete some paperwork or verify your insurance details with our team if you haven't already.

 

Meet the Team

Once you've checked in, one of our assistants will guide you to the consultation room. This is where you'll meet Dr. Lee, your San Diego orthodontist, who will be leading your treatment. We'll take the time to get to know you and discuss any concerns or goals you have for your smile. This initial conversation is crucial for understanding your needs and setting the stage for your personalized treatment plan.

 

Comprehensive Examination

Next, we'll perform a thorough examination of your teeth, jaws, and facial structure. This may include taking digital x-rays, photographs, and possibly a 3D scan of your mouth. These images give us a detailed view of your dental anatomy and help us determine the best course of action for your care. Don't worry--these procedures are quick, painless, and essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

 

Personalized Treatment Plan

After the examination, Dr. Lee will review the findings with you and discuss the available treatment options. Whether you're considering traditional braces, clear aligners, or another orthodontic solution, we'll explain the pros and cons of each option, how long treatment is likely to take, and what you can expect along the way.

 

This is your opportunity to ask any questions you may have, and we encourage you to voice any concerns. We want you to feel fully informed and confident in the treatment plan we develop together.
 
Scheduling Your Placement
Finally, we’ll help you schedule your next appointment, which might be for the placement of braces, fitting of aligners, or any other initial treatment steps.
