Your first visit

This is a free session with you, your child (if applicable), and Dr. Ghaffari to consult and determine if there is a need for orthodontics. If it is determined that orthodontic treatment is needed, Dr. Ghaffari will discuss treatment options and answer any questions.

During your records appointment, Dr. Ghaffari and his team will take a 3D scan of your mouth, pictures of your teeth, and X-rays of your teeth and jaw. We use an iTero scanner, so no more goopy impression material!

Dr. Ghaffari utilizes his knowledge of orthodontics, engineering, and expertise to develop a customized treatment plan for each patient that addresses their particular case.

This is the appointment where active orthodontic treatment is typically started. Dr. Ghaffari implements what is called “indirect bonding,” which only requires about 10 minutes for the placement of braces!

The rest of this appointment time is utilized to clean the surfaces of the teeth that will have braces attached to them, educate the patient on brushing and flossing with braces, and the placement of orthodontic wires.
