HELLO SUNSHINE
Do not be surprised if you are greeted by your name even on your first visit for your free consultation. We treat our patients as we would a family member and extend that same courtesy throughout the duration of your time with us. During our initial consult, no question is off the table. We take great pride in conducting honest evaluations as we determine the best treatment plan for you.
In response to COVID-19, our office check-in process and procedures have been updated to follow the infection control recommendations made by the American Dental Association, the CDC and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). All these changes have been made with you in mind as we work to protect our patients, visitors and staff.
All appointments need to be scheduled with our team in advance. Only our Invisalign Studio is accepting walk-in Invisalign consults daily.

-
- When you arrive, please call us at 405-947-1526 to check in. Please wait in your car, and we will text you when we are ready for you to come inside!

GET TO KNOW DR. THEOBALDWHEN YOU ARRIVE
What happens during the free initial consultation? When you arrive to one of our offices, visit our front desk and introduce yourself to our scheduling coordinators. They will give you further instructions on how to proceed. After checking in, you will be taken to complete some complimentary diagnostic records that will help the orthodontists get a quick glimpse into the current state of your smile.
TIME FOR ITERO
With the iTero Scanner, we can create a 3D digital model of your smile! The hand-held scanner is a goop-free wand that captures all the angles of your teeth when used to scanned over your smile. In a matter of minutes, we are able to show a simulated outcome of what your final smile results could look like before you even start orthodontic treatment.
CREATING YOUR BEST SMILE
At Orthodontic Associates, our goal is always to ensure a long-lasting, healthy and beautiful smile. During our evaluation with you, we will be able to assess your current smile and then guide you through the best treatment option for your specific case. We know that perfecting your smile and your bite can help you chew, bite and speak better while increasing the health and beauty of your teeth.
DISCUSSING THE DETAILS
Finally, you will meet with a treatment coordinator and a doctor to have a full examination, discuss treatment options and costs. During this one-on-one, we invite you to ask any questions about your orthodontic treatment. At Orthodontic Associates, we also team treat so you get the benefit of having our orthodontists review your records together to provide you a team-designed treatment plan. We will wrap up our time together by preparing your personalized schedule for future appointments.
