Can I start braces or Invisalign treatment the same day as my consultation?

Yes, in many cases. If your dentist has cleared you and you are getting metal or clear braces, we can place brackets the same day as your consultation. For Invisalign, we can take the digital scan that day, but aligners typically arrive from the lab within about 4 weeks.

Dr. Beth will evaluate your specific situation during your free consultation and recommend the best treatment option.
