What Happens at Your First Orthodontist Visit with Utah Orthodontic Care?
Whether you’re a child, teen, or adult needing orthodontics, we love getting to know all of our new patients. That’s why we schedule an hour for your first visit. This allows us to get to know you and understand your oral needs. Here is what you can expect at your first orthodontic visit in Utah when you select Utah Orthodontic Care.
What Happens At Your First Orthodontic Appointment?
On your first visit, we will perform a diagnostic exam. Depending on your condition, we may take digital scans, X-rays and photos. The doctor will use these records and look at your mouth to design your treatment plan. Early diagnosis of potential orthodontic problems is important. That’s why we recommend early first visits so we can prepare for any potential difficulties.
At Utah Orthodontic Care, our goal is to provide quality orthodontic care at affordable prices. We have assembled the best teams in each of our Wasatch Front locations in order to provide you with a friendly professional atmosphere. They will help put you at ease and recommend the right kind of affordable treatment for all of your orthodontic needs.

Answering Questions
At your first visit, you will have a lot of questions, so we will spend time introducing ourselves, getting to know you, and addressing questions such as:
- How can orthodontics help me?
- What types of braces do you offer?
- What is Invisalign and am I a candidate for this treatment?
- When is the best time for orthodontic treatment, now or later?
- How long might treatment last?
- How much will orthodontic treatment cost?
- Do you offer affordable financing?
If you bring in your insurance information, we will be able to provide an accurate estimate of the cost of your treatment.
We hope to end your first visit by giving you a clear understanding of your condition and creating a treatment plan. We will also discuss our affordable orthodontic financing solutions and determine a low payment plan. We will also set a time frame for your treatment and visits to the office location nearest you.
Diagnosing Your Orthodontic Problem
For our first-time patients, we often like to perform a diagnostic exam to facilitate treatment. Diagnostics often take only about a half hour to complete. Depending on your condition, we may take X-rays and photos of your mouth during the exam, as well as impressions for our records. This exam will help us to better tailor your treatment to your individual needs. Early diagnosis of potential orthodontic problems is important. That’s why we recommend early first visits to our patients so that we can plan for any potential difficulties.

Our customers love our service! Here are some of their glowing reviews:
“This clinic is AWESOME! Everyone is so friendly and the doctor is great! I’m happy with my teeth and you really can’t beat the price! Great services and low pricing! I would recommend everyone to come here! Also they are always doing patient appreciation events that are so fun! Bring your kids, your spouse, your friends, your neighbors, BRING EVERYONE!”
“Great orthodontics! I got my braces at UOC and they’ve been so amazing! First appointment is free, they’ll evaluate your teeth and talk to you about braces option options and prices/ plans.My dental insurance did not cover braces for adults ( I chose not to when I made my plan ) and even if I switched my plan I don’t think it would be a nice affordable plan like UOC offered me with monthly payments … I’m happy with them! They were always nice, friendly and flexible with schedules! Recommend it 100%!”
“I love this office. The doctor is fun with the kids, very friendly and approachable. The staff is typically very easy to work with and any time we have any question or concern they have been quick to make it right with us. We had a billing hiccup and Lauren was incredibly understanding and made the process to fix it easy. As a lower income family with multiple kids needing orthodontic work, this has been a huge weight off my shoulders. I cannot recommend them enough.”
