Ashburn and Herndon, VA (Virginia), Orthodontists Kolman P. Apt, Bryan R. Spurrier, and Natalie Lam

We are always excited for your first visit to our office. This gives us a chance to get to know you. You will meet a Treatment Coordinator who will answer any questions you might have and will review your specific concerns. They will also take photographs of your teeth that will be used to help diagnose and discuss your orthodontic problems. Next, the doctor will do an extensive examination and determine:

Is there a condition that orthodontics can address?
Is treatment needed now or should treatment be delayed until appropriate growth, tooth eruption or other factors have occurred?
What treatment procedures will be used to correct the problem?
How long will treatment take?
How much will it cost?
What are my payment options?

By the end of your first visit, we want you to feel at home in our office and have confidence in our ability to provide excellent care and top-quality service. We insist that our patients leave the office with a clear understanding of their specific needs, what the treatment will consist of, how long it will take and available financial arrangements.

We know your time is valuable, so to expedite treatment, we reserve time following the exam for diagnostic records. The records include x-rays and impressions for study models which are necessary for developing the appropriate treatment plan. This additional appointment will last approximately 30 minutes.
