Our practice utilizes the latest technology, offering a variety of safe and gentle treatment options to give you the customized, individual care you deserve.
Every smile starts with an initial consultation!
Your first office visit includes an initial consultation will give you the opportunity to meet our team, learn more about orthodontics, receive a complete initial exam, and find out which treatment options will best meet your needs. During your initial consultation, we will:
- Review your dental and medical history forms
- Provide a complete oral exam to determine whether treatment is necessary
- If treatment is necessary, we will need to take records such as photos and x-rays in order to customize a treatment plan for you
During your first office visit, our team will be glad to answer any questions you may have, and we will provide all of the information that you need to determine which treatment is right for you. Please contact our practice to schedule your initial consultation.
What happens after the initial consultation?
After your first office visit, you’re one step closer to achieving the smile you’ve always wanted! After your consultation, we will schedule your first appointment and your doctor will explain the customized treatment plan created for you. If you agree with the treament plan and financial agreement, we can start treatment the same day.

Testimonials
If you’d like to share some kind words and smiles, please ask our front desk staff for a comment card at your next appointment. We’d love to hear about your experience!
I LOVE the Friendly Smiles Orthodontics staff!! They are so warm and welcoming. My son had the Invisalign treatment and was a little nervous and had a million questions. Dr Chan took the time to explain the procedure in detail to him. We felt at ease with the process and loved the end results. I would definitely recommend Friendly Smiles Orthodontics to all my friends and family.
