If you’re considering orthodontic treatment and looking for an orthodontist in Briarcliff Manor, your first visit is the perfect opportunity to learn more and feel confident about your decision. At Orthodontic Harmony, we make your initial consultation informative, comfortable, and completely personalized.

The First Call: Setting the Stage for Your Smile Journey

Your experience begins with a phone call to our office. During this conversation, our team will ask about your primary concerns—whether it’s crowded teeth, bite issues, early treatment for a child or interest in clear aligners or braces. We’ll explain how our process works and what to expect during your first appointment with Dr. Tracy Li Cheung, our board-certified orthodontist.

This initial contact also allows us to gather any necessary insurance information and answer questions about scheduling or services. It’s a no-pressure, friendly start designed to help you feel at ease.

What Happens During the Consultation

When you arrive at our Briarcliff Manor office, you’ll be welcomed by our team and brought in for your one-on-one consultation with Dr. Cheung. The visit usually lasts around 45 minutes.

Here’s what happens during the appointment:

  • A full orthodontic exam of your teeth, bite, and jaw function

  • Digital imaging and photographs (as needed)

  • A conversation about your goals, lifestyle, and treatment preferences

  • A discussion of any relevant health history or dental concerns

This comprehensive evaluation ensures Dr. Cheung has a complete understanding of your needs before making recommendations.

Exploring Your Treatment Options

After your evaluation, Dr. Cheung will present at least two treatment plans for you to consider. Each option is tailored to your bite, bone structure, age, and desired outcomes.

You’ll learn:

  • Estimated treatment duration

  • Frequency of visits

  • Treatment options (most of our patients have at least 2 options!)

  • Pros and cons of each approach

  • Whether your case involves special techniques like digital bonding or mini-implants

We encourage you to ask questions. This is your smile journey—and your input matters.

Financial Clarity from the Start

Once you’ve reviewed your treatment options, we’ll go over the financial details. We make it easy to understand:

  • Total cost of treatment

  • What insurance may cover

  • In-network discounts (if applicable)

  • Payment plans and monthly installment options

Most patients begin treatment with a down payment between $325–$500, with the remainder spread across 12–24 months. We’ll walk you through every step and provide estimates, so there are no surprises.

Pressure-Free, Personalized Care

At Orthodontic Harmony, we know that choosing an orthodontist is a big decision. That’s why we never rush you. Some patients begin treatment right away, while others take time to review their options.
