The appointment when you get your initial appliance (braces, expanders, Invisalign®, etc.) usually takes from 30 to 90 minutes. You will then see us at regular intervals approximately every 5 to 10 weeks, and these appointments usually take 10 to 20 minutes. Our regular office hours are Monday thru Thursday from 8:00am to 4:30pm. Patients are seen by appointment only. We make every effort to see every patient on time, but that is only possible if our patients can extend that same courtesy to us. Therefore, in the event you cannot keep an appointment, please notify us immediately. Cancel only if it is an emergency. This is very important since it is difficult to reschedule you as most appointments are made 5 to 10 weeks in advance.
