Our Process

1. Schedule a Complimentary Consultation

During your initial consultation, we'll review previous dental records with you, insurance, financing options, and create your treatment plan.

2. Oral Exam

At the exam, we'll take radiographs and conduct an oral exam to define specifics for orthodontic treatment.

3. Treatment Plan

After the initial consultation, you will receive an orthodontic treatment plan. At this point, you'll know how much treatment is needed, how long it will take, and treatment specifics.

Common FAQ

What insurance does Marks Orthodontics accept?
Our staff is always available to help with any insurance questions! Our practice is in-network with the Delta Dental of Michigan and collaborates with a variety of insurance providers. Our team will work with you to understand your full insurance benefits, and as a courtesy for our patients, we will assist in submitting the necessary paperwork to your insurance company.

When should I take my child to the orthodontist?
It's generally recommended to take your child to the orthodontist in Norton Shores, MI by the age of 7. At this age, an orthodontist can assess the development of your child's teeth and jaw, identifying any potential issues early on. Early visits allow for timely interventions
How much does a consultation cost?
The consultation is complimentary and includes your orthodontic records of x-rays, photos, Dr. Marks's diagnosis and treatment plan.
What can we expect during the first orthodontic appointment?
After the initial consultation and you’ve decided to go forward with the treatment plan, we’ll begin. Each treatment plan is custom-fit to each patient, so the first appointment will vary in activities. Some patients will receive palate expanders while others may get braces. We’ll let you know what you can expect after our initial consultation.
Do I need a referral for an orthodontic evaluation?
No, you don't! We work with all local area dentists, but you don't need a referral from one to schedule a complimentary consultation with us.

It's important that you do have a dentist you've seen recently for an exam and cleaning. Once Dr. Marks has evaluated your smile, we'll send a detailed report and treatment plan to your dentist. We'll continue to work together with them to get you the smile you've always wanted.
How often will my child need to visit the orthodontist in Norton Shores?
Your child will typically need to visit the orthodontist every 4 to 8 weeks. These regular appointments allow the orthodontist to adjust the braces, monitor progress, and make any necessary modifications to the treatment plan. The exact frequency of visits may vary depending on your child's specific treatment needs
