Comprehensive Digital Records: Setting the Foundation for Your Care

A vital component of your first visit is gathering a complete set of digital records to give us a clear picture of your orthodontic needs. Using the latest 3D imaging technology and digital X-rays, we’ll take precise scans of your teeth, jaws, and facial structure. This state-of-the-art technology allows us to accurately represent your dental anatomy, helping us plan your treatment with maximum precision.

Why are these records so vital? They allow us to:

Identify any dental issues that might affect your treatment.
Evaluate your airway and jaw structure, ensuring we address your smile’s aesthetic and functional needs.
Create a custom treatment plan that addresses your dental alignment and overall oral health.

Personal Time with Dr. Phillips: Discussing Your Smile Goals

Once your records are complete, you’ll sit with Dr. Joseph Phillips for a dedicated, one-on-one conversation about your smile goals. Whether you’re seeking treatment for yourself or your child, we’ll take the time to understand what’s most important to you. This is your chance to communicate what matters most to you about your treatment. Dr. Phillips will ask you about:

Your Aesthetic Goals: Are you looking for a straighter smile, or do you have specific concerns about how your teeth look?
Functional Needs: Do you have issues with your bite, jaw pain, or difficulty chewing or speaking that you’d like to address?
Dental and Skeletal Concerns: Dr. Phillips will assess your dental alignment and jaw structure to determine how orthodontics can improve your overall oral health.
Understanding the Process: We want you to feel fully informed, so Dr. Phillips will take the time to explain how treatment works and what to expect moving forward.

At Phillips Family Orthodontics, we believe in education without pressure. We want you to feel empowered to make the best decisions for your treatment. We’ll provide all the information you need, answer any questions, and make sure you’re completely comfortable before moving forward.
