With Smile Choice, you get the same expert care from Dr. Brian Patterson and our team at the level that is right for you.
How Smile Choice Works
Tell us your goal at your complimentary consultation. Dr. Brian reviews your smile and explains which Smile Choice option, or comprehensive braces or Invisalign plan, will get you there. For minor cases, many patients also qualify for virtual monitoring, which means fewer in-office visits and faster, more convenient treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which Smile Choice option is right for me?
It depends on how much your teeth need to move. At your complimentary consultation, Dr. Patterson reviews your smile and recommends the option, from a quick TouchUp to a full Makeover, that fits your goals and budget.
Is limited treatment as good as full braces?
For the right case, yes. Limited treatment is ideal for minor corrections or post-braces relapse. For more complex bite issues, Dr. Patterson will recommend comprehensive treatment so your results last.
