Office Visits

We understand that taking the step into orthodontic care is a big deal, and we want you to feel confident and fully informed about your decision to choose Bettagere Orthodontics. That’s why we offer a free initial consultation to invite you into our space to meet with your future care team and ask any questions you may have.

What to expect at your first consultation.

Please include 90 minutes in your schedule for your first consultation.
We look forward to welcoming you at our front desk.
Our Treatment Coordinator will escort you (or you and your child) to our consult room.
We take photos and a 3D x-ray of your teeth.
Dr. Bettagere reviews your records and history. She prepares a treatment plan before joining you in the consult room for a conversation.
Dr. Bettagere introduces herself and examines your teeth. She shows you your images, shares her opinion, and discusses with you the proposed treatment plan.

  1. First Appointment: At your initial visit we schedule your first appointment, which should take about an hour. During this visit, Dr. Bettagere places your new orthodontic appliance.

  3. Rescheduling: We understand life happens! If you are running late or need to reschedule, please reach out so we can accommodate you. 
  4. Online Appointment Management: Our secure online service allows you to view your appointment and account information and sign up for email or text appointment reminders.
  5. Dental Checkups: It is very important that you continue to visit your family dentist every six months for teeth cleanings and routine dental checkups throughout your orthodontic care. If extra dental care is needed, we will be happy to coordinate with your family dentist to make sure you receive the most complete possible care.
