First Visit




We are always excited to meet new patients. Your initial appointment will consist of a thorough examination, photographs, and a discussion of potential treatment options. This important 50-minute visit will give us insight into your orthodontic needs.


During the initial examination, we will answer the following questions. We also encourage you to ask additional questions.

  • Is orthodontic treatment indicated? If so, what will treatment address?
  • Is treatment needed now or should treatment be delayed until appropriate growth, tooth eruption, or other factors have occurred?
  • What appliances or procedures will be used to correct the problem?
  • Do any permanent teeth need to be removed?
  • How long will treatment take?
  • How much will treatment cost?
  • What are the payment options?

While we can often answer these general questions during the initial examination, additional records may be indicated to create a customized treatment plan to meet your specific needs. The records include X-rays and a digital scan. Obtaining these records may extend your initial appointment by a half hour. We will then schedule a consultation to discuss treatment options, time frames, and financial arrangements.

We feel it is important to analyze each patient’s specific needs because in-depth planning leads to superior results and higher patient satisfaction. We insist that our patients leave the office with a clear understanding of all aspects of their treatment.

Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your first visit:

Insurance and Financial Information

We believe everyone deserves high-quality, personalized orthodontic care. We also understand that a healthy smile is an investment. At Northcut Orthodontics, we are committed to working with you to ensure nothing comes between you and your orthodontic goals.


  • Insurance

      We work with most insurance plans. We will verify your insurance benefits, and will answer any questions you may have about your coverage. Upon starting treatment, we will submit an insurance claim on your behalf.

  • Flexible Payment Options

      We offer flexible payment options. We will work with you to find the payment plan that best fits your needs.

  • Transparent Fees

      We believe that the cost associated with treatment should be transparent. During your initial appointment, we will discuss your treatment options and the cost associated with each.

Our goal is to make orthodontic care as accessible as possible. If you are unsure about your insurance coverage or have questions about the cost of care, please call our office. We are always happy to speak with you.
