Your First Step to a Confident Smile
At Capan Orthodontics, we know starting orthodontic treatment is a big step, and we’re here to make it easy. Your first visit with Dr. Natalie Capan at our Englewood Cliffs location is all about getting answers, exploring options, and setting you up for success.
What to Expect
at Your First Appointment
From digital scans to personalized treatment discussions, your first visit is designed for comfort and clarity.
Here’s what happens when you walk through our doors.
01
A Warm Welcome
From the moment you arrive, our team will make you feel at home. Our modern, comfortable waiting area means a relaxed start to your visit. Plus, with minimal wait times, you’ll be seen quickly and get started on your journey toward a healthier, more confident smile.
02
A Tour of Our Office
Before your consultation, we’ll walk you through our state-of-the-art practice, so you feel comfortable and familiar with your surroundings. Our friendly team will introduce you to the latest orthodontic technology we use to ensure efficient, effective treatment.
03
Digital Scans—No Messy Impressions
Say goodbye to goopy molds! We use advanced digital scanning to create a precise 3D model of your teeth—no discomfort, no gagging, just a faster, more accurate way to plan your treatment.
04
X-Rays & Imaging for a Full Picture
We take detailed photos and X-rays to assess your teeth and jaw alignment. If you’ve had a recent panoramic X-ray from your dentist, let us know—we can request it ahead of time to streamline your visit.
05
Meet With Dr. Capan
Dr. Capan will review your records, explain any orthodontic concerns, and discuss treatment options.
We’ll also go over timing, next steps, and answer any questions. We recommend having all caregivers present—seeing the records firsthand makes decision-making much easier.
06
CBCT Imaging for Complex Cases
For certain orthodontic concerns, a CBCT scan may be necessary for a more detailed view of your teeth and jaw.
Our CBCT unit is on-site, so you won’t need an extra appointment. If a scan is required, there will be an additional charge, which we’ll discuss with you in advance.
07
Going Over Treatment Costs & Payment Options
Transparency and affordability are two important ideals at Capan Orthodontics. Before treatment begins, we’ll go over the full cost, available payment options, and any insurance benefits.
Our flexible, interest-free payment plans make treatment easy to fit into your budget. Provide your insurance info ahead of time, and we’ll verify coverage before your visit.
08
Ready to Start? We Might Be Too!
Excited to move forward? In many cases, we can begin treatment the same day as your consultation. That means taking initial measurements or starting preparations before you even leave.
If you’re ready to start your smile transformation, we’ll make sure everything is in place so you can move forward with confidence!
