Your First Visit: A Step-By-Step Guide
-
Traditional metal braces are the most well-known and reliable option for orthodontic care. Highly effective for everything from mild to complex cases, they use durable brackets and wires to deliver precise results. While visible, today’s metal braces are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than ever.
-
We’ll review your health history and talk about your goals, questions, and any concerns you may have. For kids, we keep the process fun and easy to understand, and parents are encouraged to join the conversation so the whole family feels included and confident moving forward.
-
We’ll take records, including photos and X-rays with our advanced 3D CBCT imaging system. This gives Dr. Ulrich a clear picture of your teeth, jaw, and airway health.
-
During your visit, Dr. Ulrich will sit down with you to review your records and explain her findings in clear, simple terms. You’ll have time to ask questions and explore treatment options like Invisalign, braces, or airway orthodontics.
-
Before you leave, our team will review your treatment plan, answer any remaining questions you have, and guide you through scheduling your next appointment. You’ll receive digital copies of your records and paperwork for your convenience. We’ll also send text reminders to easily keep your journey on track.
Preparing for Your First Visit
To make your visit even easier, here are a few reminders:
- Bring your ID and insurance card
- Fill out any new patient forms online ahead of time
- Write down questions you’d like to ask Dr. Ulrich
We recommend arriving 10 to 15 minutes early to allow for check-in and questions with our front desk team.
