If you’re new to orthodontics, you may be wondering what to expect during your first appointment at our practice. Here, we’ll walk you through the steps and tell you what to bring to your first orthodontic visit.
What To Expect
Your first orthodontic visit is an exciting step on your journey to a new smile! But we also know many patients are nervous about their first appointment. Here are the steps you can expect at our Harrisonburg orthodontic practice.
Consultation
Our Harrisonburg doctors will assess the health of your teeth and gums. We will also check your bite and closely evaluate how the teeth fit together. Scans and x-rays may be taken to visualize the teeth roots and supporting bone. This is an excellent time to discuss your own personal concerns and goals with us.
Health history
During the consultation, we will review your medical history with you in detail. Be sure to mention any medications you are currently taking as well as any vitamins and supplements. This gives us a comprehensive overview of your health.
Treatment plan
Once all necessary information has been gathered, Dr. Giardina and Dr. Kray will discuss all potential orthodontic options with you in detail. Often, there is more than one possible solution. Together, you will decide on an appropriate treatment plan that works well with your budget and lifestyle. Remember, we want you to be an integral part of the treatment planning process!

Advanced Technology
Our orthodontic practice utilizes cutting-edge technology to provide patients with safe, accurate care.

This eliminates the need for messy, uncomfortable dental putty.
Flexible financing options
We are in-network with Delta Dental, but we routinely file for any insurance. In addition to accepting dental insurance, we also offer interest-free in-house financing options to meet your budgeting needs. We are also proud to accept CareCredit® – a third-party financing option that allows patients to pay treatment off in low monthly installments. Our team of financial experts can answer any questions you may have about payment options.
