It's generally recommended to take your child to the orthodontist in Ferrysburg, 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.

The consultation is complimentary and includes your orthodontic records of x-rays, photos, Dr. Marks's diagnosis and treatment plan.

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.

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.

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.
