Your First Visit
Your First Visit with the Orthodontist
Mill Creek, WA
At Sullivan Bastian Orthodontics, we strive to make every part of the orthodontic process easy and convenient. As a premier orthodontist serving the Mill Creek WA area, we’re proud to offer a wide variety of orthodontic treatments to our patients, designing personalized treatment plans that strike the balance between straightening teeth and fitting in with your lifestyle. In addition to traditional braces, we’re proud to offer a variety of orthodontic alternatives, including the popular Invisalign system. We’ll go over all your options and help you choose the best treatment course for you during your first visit to our office.
Before Coming To Your orthodontist Appointment
After we get your consultation appointment on the calendar, you will receive a form which will allow you to fill out your new patient paperwork. You will also be able to enter your insurance information so that we can be fully prepared to give you a treatment plan that fits your budget. You can also share what is most important to you in terms of treatment and submit any information you would like your doctor to know before your exam.
What To Expect At Your Orthodontic Consultation
Upon entering the office, you’ll be greeted by our wonderful reception staff and meet with your Treatment Coordinator. Your Treatment Coordinator will take some time to give you an in-depth introduction and overview of the treatment process, answering any preliminary questions you may have and getting to know you, your expectations, and your motivations for starting orthodontic treatment.

Choosing An Orthodontic Treatment
We truly want to do everything we can to help you make a well-informed decision on your orthodontic treatment, so we’ll take extra time during your first appointment to fully explain your current orthodontic situation and the treatment options available to you. We’ll go over all of the potential treatments that may work for you, including traditional metal braces, clear braces, Invisalign clear aligners, and any supplementary treatments we feel may be necessary. Normally, we can make a decision about treatment and move forward during your first visit, but if you have a particularly complicated case, we may ask to schedule a second Treatment Conference after your orthodontist reviews your records.
Schedule Your Consultation For Orthodontic Treatment
Your first visit is an exciting time as it’s the first step in the orthodontic treatment process – and it marks the beginning of your journey towards a beautiful, healthy new smile. We firmly believe in patient education throughout the treatment process, which is why we will always speak openly and transparently about your current situation and the options available to you. If you’d like to start the orthodontic journey for yourself, we’d be thrilled to help you.
Whether you choose braces, Invisalign, or any other treatment we offer, your orthodontic treatment will be temporary – but the benefits of a new smile will last a lifetime.
