What to Expect at Your First Orthodontic Visit

Your first visit to Smiles Orthodontics is a complimentary consultation with no obligation. Here is exactly what happens:

Dr. Menendez will take digital x-rays and photographs of your teeth and bite. She will then perform a full clinical evaluation and walk you through her findings in plain language — explaining what is happening with your teeth, what your treatment options are, and what the estimated timeline and cost would be. Parents and patients are encouraged to ask questions.

In many cases, treatment can begin the same day as your consultation if you are ready to get started.

Do you accept insurance for orthodontics in El Paso?

Yes. Smiles Orthodontics accepts all private insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits. Our team will help you understand your coverage and maximize your benefits. We also offer flexible financing with low down payments and monthly payment plans for patients without insurance or with partial coverage.

Is the first consultation really free?

Yes — your initial exam, x-rays, and treatment consultation at Smiles Orthodontics are completely complimentary. There is no cost and no commitment required to come in and find out what your options are.
