Your First Visit
At Pawley Orthodontics we understand that everyone’s questions and concerns regarding treatment are unique.
What to Expect for your First Visit and Initial Exam
You will be glad to discover when you visit our office for your complimentary exam, Dr. Pawley will personally spend a great deal of time, addressing your and/or your child’s potential needs and concerns with complete honesty; patiently educating you about the many benefits of truly high-standards, modern orthodontics.
Rest assured, Dr. Pawley is a specialist of integrity and does not ever recommend orthodontic treatment unless there exists a genuine patient benefit. In fact, for the majority of children he sees, he does not require or recommend early or two-phase approach to treatment; which sadly occurs in a majority of other orthodontic offices where monetary gain, and not what is simply best or healthiest for the patient, prevails.
We strive to always clearly define all treatment needs, options and recommendations through descriptive verbal messaging combined with impactful, plasma screen visuals and imaging.
