How long will my first visit take?
Most appointments last about 40 minutes. We’ll cover everything from photos and scans to treatment recommendations.
What ages do you treat?
All ages, 7 and up. While the American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first exam at age 7, it is never too late to consider orthodontic treatment.
What if I’m not sure which treatment I need?
That’s what the consultation is for — we’ll evaluate your smile concerns and walk you through the best options for your goals.
Do you offer payment plans or accept insurance?
Yes — we offer flexible monthly payment plans and work with all major private dental insurance providers. You can also use HSA or FSA funds toward orthodontic treatment, but please note that we do not accept Medicaid.
How often will I come in for appointments?
Typically every 8 weeks, depending on your treatment type and progress. We utilize telehealth when possible to make orthodontic treatment more flexible and convenient for you.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
While timing varies based on your specific case and unique treatment plan, an efficient practice led by a skilled doctor will help ensure your best smile is just around the corner.
What makes Wildflower Orthodontics different?
We’re a female-owned small business led by a board-certified orthodontist who also teaches at the dental school — all in a warm, modern, beautiful office designed for your comfort where you’ll see the same team time after time.
Is the first exam free?
Yes! We offer complimentary initial exams so you can get all the information you need without any pressure or commitment. During your visit, we’ll take a look at your smile, walk you through your options, and answer any questions you have so you can feel confident about your next steps.
Can I get braces or Invisalign the same day?
Yes! We offer same-day starts for patients who are ready to begin treatment. If everything looks good during your exam and you’re excited to move forward, we can often get your braces or Invisalign process started that same day — saving you time and helping you get one step closer to your new smile right away.
Not Ready Yet? No Worries.
If your child isn’t ready for orthodontic treatment at their first visit, they’ll enter our Observation Program, which is affectionately known around here as the Wild Child Kids Club! This complimentary monitoring allows us to track how their smile is developing over time and determine the best timing for treatment if necessary.
These simple check-ins help ensure we start at the right moment while giving you confidence that your child’s smile is in good hands.
We know starting orthodontic treatment is a big decision for adults too — there’s no pressure here, just honest information. We’ll be here whenever you are ready to take that step. One thing we hear again and again from our adult patients is “I wish I had done this sooner!” Let us help you get there.
