The same: The same as any other "first visit" to any health care provider. There will be forms to completed, perhaps a screening X-ray, and an examination will be completed. At that point the Orthodontic Specialst can review the details of your malocclusion with you and discuss treatment alternatives. Additionally arrangements will be made to take diagnostic records to help finalize your treatment plan.
