First Visit

We’re commonly asked what a first-time visit to our office looks like. When you walk into Smile Exchange Orthodontics for the first time, our treatment coordinator will greet and welcome you. Your appointment will typically last about an hour. We will take photographs, x-rays, and a 3D scan. Then Dr. Raffi Partamian will conduct a thorough orthodontic examination and give you an overview of available treatment options.

The purpose of the initial examination is to answer these questions:

  • What concerns do you and your dentist have?
  • When should you or your child begin treatment?
  • What type of treatment is best?
  • How long will your treatment take?
  • How much will treatment cost?
