Your first visit
What I wanted to know before my first visit
Questions teens ask us, answered the way Dr. Goel answers them.
Is this going to hurt?
Nothing is drilled at a first visit. Dr. Goel looks at your teeth, takes photos and, if he needs them, X-rays. Teeth can feel sore for a few days after braces go on, and he tells you what helps. You can ask for a break any time.
Do I have to decide that day?
No. You hear the options and get the plan and the fee in writing. Take it home. Nothing starts until you and a parent say yes.
Can I pick my colors?
With braces, yes. If you choose elastics, you pick the colors, and you can change them at each visit.
Will my parents be in the room?
A parent or guardian signs in with you at the first visit. After that, you can come in on your own if they say that's fine, and we send them a note afterward.

Questions
Before you call
Can I still eat what I like?
You'll get a short list of foods to skip while you have braces, mostly hard and sticky ones. Aligners come out for meals.
What if a wire pokes me or a bracket comes loose?
Call us. We'll tell you what to do until you can come in, and we try to fit repairs in quickly.
How long will I wear them?
It depends on your teeth. Dr. Goel gives you a range at the first visit, and it can change as treatment goes.
Do you take our insurance?
Orthodontic coverage differs by plan. The fees page says how we work with plan types, and we can check your plan before the visit.
Do I need a referral?
Not to book a first visit. If your dentist sent you, bring their note if you have it.
