What to Expect on Your First Visit

Your first visit to Manning Orthodontics is a relaxed, no pressure, free consultation designed to answer your questions and give you a clear picture of your smile options. At either our The Woodlands or Montgomery office, you will be greeted by our friendly team, complete any new patient paperwork, and then receive digital photos and imaging using modern 3D technology and iTero digital scanning, so there are no messy impressions. Dr. Manning will carefully evaluate your teeth, bite, and jaw alignment, listen to your concerns, and explain your recommended treatment options, whether that is braces, clear aligners, early intervention for your child, or a specialty appliance. You will also review an estimated timeline and cost, and in many cases, you can choose to start treatment the same day, so you leave your first appointment with a solid plan and real progress toward your new smile.
