Every Smile Starts with a Complimentary Consultation
Taking the first step toward a healthy smile is an exciting moment. At Lippitz Orthodontics, we want to make that start simple and stress-free. That’s why we offer a truly free orthodontic consultation for every new patient, with no obligation and no hidden fees. This is more than just a quick look – it’s the cornerstone of your entire treatment.
Your initial complimentary consultation will give you the opportunity to meet Dr. Lippitz and our friendly team, learn more about personalized orthodontic treatment, receive a complete initial exam, and discover which treatment options will best meet your needs. We are dedicated to providing the detailed diagnosis and clear information you need to confidently decide on the path forward for you or your family.
Dr. Stefen Lippitz and the entire Lippitz Orthodontics team strive to create beautiful smiles that exceed their patients’ expectations.
What to Expect During Your Free Orthodontic Consultation at Lippitz
We know you may be wondering what the appointment entails. Here’s exactly what you can expect during your free consultation in our Chicago, Northbrook, or Glencoe office.
The Diagnostic Step: Seeing the Full Picture
Our goal is a comprehensive treatment plan, which means looking beyond just the teeth. During your initial visit, we will:
- Review your completed dental and medical history form.
- Perform a complete oral exam, including digital X-rays and photos, to determine whether orthodontic treatment is necessary. We carefully assess the alignment of your teeth, bite, and jaw, and check the surrounding soft tissues.
- Provide a clear and detailed diagnosis of any current issues, from simple alignment needs to more complex jaw relationships.
Discussing Your Treatment Options
Once we have a complete picture of your oral health, we move on to the solutions. Your personalized plan will be tailored to your lifestyle and needs. We’ll discuss all the available treatment options, including:
- Invisalign® and other clear aligners: We are a Diamond Plus Invisalign Provider, specializing in clear, removable appliances that provide an invisible way to straighten your teeth comfortably.
- Traditional braces (metal and clear braces): Highly effective and often the best route for complex cases, we’ll show you how modern braces offer maximum comfort and efficiency.
Our team will be glad to answer any questions you have about the process, the typical duration of treatment, and what it truly feels like to wear the appliance.
The Investment: Understanding Treatment Cost and Payment Plans
One of the most important things we discuss during your complimentary consultation is the financial investment. We want to be completely transparent about your treatment cost so you can plan with confidence.
After Dr. Lippitz provides your specific diagnosis, we will:
- Provide a detailed estimate of the total pricing for your customized treatment.
- Review all your insurance options to determine what your policy will cover. Our financial coordinator is happy to work with you to fill out any necessary forms or request pre-authorization.
- Discuss flexible payment plans. We understand that orthodontic treatment is a significant investment, and we offer in-house financing options to make it as affordable as possible for your family. There is a benefit to finding a plan that fits your budget.
What Happens After Your Initial Consultation?
You’re one step closer to achieving the smile you’ve always wanted! After your consultation, if you decide to start treatment with us, our coordinator will help you schedule your first official appointment.
Your Treatment Journey Starts Here: Appointments
This first appointment generally takes about an hour, and during this time our team will ensure you are as comfortable as possible as Dr. Lippitz places your new orthodontic appliance.
Visiting the orthodontist about every four to eight weeks is an important part of monitoring your progress. Our practice will work with you to make sure your follow-up appointments are as convenient as possible. We understand that “life happens,” so if you’re running late or need to schedule your visit for another time, please contact us, and we will do everything we can to accommodate you. We’re looking forward to working with you to create your new, healthy smile.
Maintaining Your Oral Health
It is very important that you continue to visit your family dentist once every six months for teeth cleanings and routine dental checkups, even during your orthodontic treatment. We happily provide care coordination with your family dentist to make sure you receive the best possible care throughout this process, including advice on brushing and flossing techniques.
