Questions to Ask Your Orthodontist Before Your Visit

• Am I a better candidate for traditional braces or clear aligners like Invisalign?
• What is the estimated total cost, and what does that include?
• How long will my treatment likely take from start to finish?
• How often will I need to come in for adjustments or check-ins?
• Will I need any teeth removed before treatment begins?
• What happens if a bracket breaks or a clear aligner cracks or is lost?
• Will I need to wear a retainer after treatment, and for how long?
• Does my dental insurance cover any portion of orthodontic treatment?

These are general questions for patients. Answers will vary by practice — call ahead to confirm details before your visit.
