What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first appointment begins with a thorough orthodontic evaluation, including digital imaging or scans when needed. Dr. Gary Michels will review your findings with you, explain whether treatment is recommended, and walk you through your options—such as traditional braces or clear aligners—in a clear, pressure-free way. Our goal is for you to leave your visit informed, confident, and comfortable about your next steps.
