What to Expect During Your First Orthodontic Consultation

Starting orthodontic treatment can feel overwhelming, especially if you don’t know what to expect.

Our goal is to make every patient feel comfortable, informed, and confident.

Your First Visit May Include:

  • Digital images or X-rays

  • A bite and alignment evaluation

  • Discussion of treatment options

  • Estimated treatment timeline

  • Financial and insurance information

This appointment is also a great time to ask questions about braces, aligners, retainers, or treatment goals.

We believe informed patients feel more confident about their orthodontic journey.


At Great Lakes Orthodontics, we’re committed to creating healthy, beautiful smiles in a welcoming and supportive environment. Dr. Jonathan Dzingle is the best orthodontist in Northern Michigan!
