It's designed for convenience, giving you valuable insights and answering your initial questions without any obligation.
How Virtual Consultations Work
The process is simple: share a little bit about yourself, submit some photos of your smile and our team will book a virtual call with you.
1. Take Pictures of Your Smile
To begin, take eight clear photos of your smile. Please refer to the examples below for guidance. For the best results, we recommend taking these pictures in front of a window or in a brightly lit area to ensure good visibility.
2. Fill out the Form
The next step is to fill out the consultation request form at the bottom of this page. Please ensure all your personal details are accurate and don't forget to attach the smile images you just took to help our team prepare for the meeting.
3. Meet Your Orthodontist Online
During this session, you'll discuss your specific concerns and smile goals. Your orthodontist will review the images you provided and develop a tailored treatment plan designed to help you achieve the smile you desire.
4. Begin Orthodontic Treatment
If you're ready to take the exciting next step, we'll schedule an in-person appointment at our office in North Vancouver. During this visit, we'll confirm your personalized treatment plan and finalize financial details.
