In fact, studies have shown that\npeople with a nice smile are perceived as more intelligent, attractive and\nlikable, which would increase anyone\u2019s self-confidence! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Will Your First Visit With an Orthodontist Be Like? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your first visit will take about an hour and is a way for an\northodontist to gather the information they need to make a recommendation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, they\u2019ll spend some time getting to know you so they\ncan understand your needs and goals. They\u2019ll also review your dental history\nand examine your teeth, and possibly take images and impressions. Some offices\nwill even have digital impression technology so you won\u2019t have to deal with messy\nand uncomfortable impression putty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also learn about various orthodontic options like\ntraditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silvercreekdentistry.com\/traditional-orthodontics.html\">braces\nin Ripon<\/a> and Invisalign. After an orthodontist discusses which option they\nrecommend, they\u2019ll give you an estimate of how long you\u2019ll be in treatment and\nanswer any questions you have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After treatment has started, you\u2019ll return about every 4-6 weeks\nso your progress can be checked and adjustments can be made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no question that straightening your teeth is an\ninvestment that will pay off for a lifetime.
