Appointments are scheduled every 3 to 8 weeks during active treatment. There are usually two one-hour appointments in the beginning to place the appliances (braces), but the majority of appointments are 10 to 20 minutes long. We always know the length of your next appointment and do our best to accommodate your busy schedule by setting up most visits after school or on Saturdays. We realize your time is valuable and take pride in running on time. With five office locations, you may select the office and time most convenient for each appointment.
