What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first visit at iSmile Orthodontics is easy, unhurried, and completely free. There's no referral needed and no obligation. We built the appointment around one thing. Giving you a clear picture of your smile options so you can decide what feels right.
Here's how it usually goes. Our smile team greets you at the door and gets you settled. Dr. Lauren sits down with you to talk through what brought you in, what you're hoping to change, and any questions on your mind. We use our iTero scanner and digital imaging to take a look at your teeth without messy impressions, then walk you through what treatment could look like, how long it might take, and what it would cost.
You leave with a plan, a clear estimate, and the info you need to make a confident decision. That's it. No pressure and no upsell. Just an honest conversation about your smile.

Spokane Braces
Braces remain a leading choice at iSmile Orthodontics in Spokane for addressing complex dental issues effectively. They straighten teeth and close gaps more quickly than many alternatives, potentially reducing your overall treatment duration.
In Spokane, braces are a cost-effective orthodontic option. They get great results without the need for advanced technology or expensive equipment required by newer treatments.
Traditional braces, made of metal or ceramic brackets connected by wires and tiny elastics, are proven to be highly effective. This system precisely aligns your teeth into the desired position through gradual movement, ensured by regular check-ups with Dr. Lauren.
Spokane Clear Aligners
In Spokane, clear aligners are a preferred choice among patients at iSmile Orthodontics, offering a discreet alternative to traditional braces. This innovative treatment involves a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-made for a precise fit over your teeth.
Dr. Lauren recommends changing your aligners approximately every one to two weeks to gradually guide your teeth into their ideal alignment. It is crucial to wear them for 20 – 22 hours a day to get the best results. Not wearing the aligners as prescribed can prolong your treatment time.
Clear aligners are suitable for addressing many common orthodontic issues but might not be ideal for extremely complex cases. Dr. Lauren provides a free consultation at iSmile Orthodontics in Spokane to assess if Invisalign is the right option for you.
Spokane Braces & Clear Aligners
Dr. Lauren specializes in crafting treatment plans tailored to your unique orthodontic needs. At your free consultation at iSmile Orthodontics in Spokane, we evaluate your dental structure, lip movement, and facial contours to determine the best approach for your orthodontic care.
