Your New Patient Guide

Get ready for thoughtful orthodontic care.

Start your smile journey

Choosing an orthodontist is an important decision. Your first visit at Keller & Wainwright is led by Dr. Wainwright, and supported by comprehensive diagnostic records, careful clinical evaluation, and a clear, structured treatment plan.

Your evaluation is supported by 3D CBCT imaging and the Lumina iTero scanner, replacing traditional impressions with digital precision and giving Dr. Wainwright a complete view of your teeth, roots, and jaw structure.

What to Expect

Step 1

Comprehensive Records

We gather digital images and diagnostic records to evaluate alignment, bite, jaw development, and facial balance.

Step 2

Clinical Review

Dr. Wainwright personally explains her findings, outlines options, and discusses timing with transparency and clinical reasoning.

Step 3

Personalized Plan

If treatment is recommended, we present a structured plan designed for stability, efficiency, and predictable results.

Designed for Clarity

  • Digital impressions for precision and comfort
  • Clear treatment timelines
  • Secure patient portal access
  • Conservative, evidence-based recommendations
  • Multilingual communication support in English, Spanish, French, and Korean

Insurance & Financial Planning

We accept cash, checks, and major credit cards. While we are not in-network with dental insurance plans, we file claims on your behalf to help you maximize available benefits.

Before treatment begins, you will receive a clear breakdown of fees, estimated insurance contribution, and payment options. We believe financial clarity supports confident decisions.

Your Questions, Answered

Do I need a referral?

No. You can schedule directly with our office. If your dentist has shared records or concerns, we are happy to coordinate.

How long does the first visit take?

Most consultations take about 45 to 60 minutes. This allows time for photos and radiographs if needed, a thorough exam, and a clear review of recommendations.

Do you treat adults?

Yes. We treat children, teens, and adults. Adult orthodontics can address alignment, bite function, long-term stability, and preparation for restorative dental care when needed.

Is Dr. Wainwright board-certified?

Yes. Dr. Wainwright is a Board Certified Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. Board certification is a voluntary achievement that reflects advanced clinical standards and a commitment to excellence.

What happens after the consultation?

If treatment is recommended, we will review timing, expected treatment length, and next steps. You will receive a clear fee estimate and payment options before scheduling.

Do you offer braces and Invisalign?

Yes. We offer metal braces, clear braces, and Invisalign clear aligners. The right option depends on your diagnosis, bite goals, and the type of tooth movement required.

Will I need Phase I treatment for my child?

Not always. If early treatment is beneficial, we will explain why and what it helps prevent. If monitoring is the best choice, we will recommend observation and tracking growth over time.
