Orthodontist Consultation in Lone Tree and Greenwood Village, CO
What happens at your orthodontist consultation?
Your appointment starts with a warm welcome and a quick review of your dental history and goals. Photos and scans help the doctor see how your teeth and jaws fit together. You will learn what is going well, what needs attention, and which treatment choices match your smile goals. You will have time to ask questions about timing, comfort, and everyday care so you know exactly what to expect.
Services you can discuss at Total Orthodontics
During your orthodontist consultation, your doctor may recommend one of the following services offered by the practice:

- Limited treatment for small, targeted tooth movements when you only want to fix a few teeth
- Airway orthodontics to evaluate growth and bite patterns that may affect breathing

These options cover simple to complex cases, and your doctor will explain why one path may work better than another for your smile.
Who is a good candidate?
Almost everyone can benefit from an orthodontist consultation. Children sometimes need early guidance to prevent bigger problems later. Teens often come in for braces or aligners as their adult teeth finish erupting. Adults choose orthodontics to improve function, reduce wear, or refresh a smile they have wanted to fix for years. Whether you need full treatment or a limited touch-up, your doctor will tailor the plan to your goals.
What makes the visit comfortable and clear?
Digital scans with iTero create an accurate 3D model of your teeth. That makes planning easier to see and understand. With braces, you will learn how adjustments work and how to keep everything clean. With aligners, you will see how each set moves your teeth step by step. The team uses simple instructions and checklists so you leave confident about home care between visits.
How long will treatment take?
Timing depends on your specific needs and the type of treatment you choose. Some limited cases finish in a shorter window, while full comprehensive care takes longer. Your doctor will give you an estimated timeline at your orthodontist consultation and explain how good home care and keeping appointments help you stay on track.
Comfort, lifestyle, and everyday tips
Your plan will include easy ways to protect your smile day to day. If you play sports, you will learn about mouthguard options. If you choose aligners, you will get simple routines for wear time and cleaning. If you choose braces, you will receive food tips and tools that make brushing and flossing easier.
