Your first visit is complementary. Our treatment coordinator will show you what braces are and how they work and will answer basic questions regarding your needs and our practice. She will dicuss your concerns along with the concerns of your general dentist. She will take digital photos and x-rays. Dr. Sims will then do a visual exam, and based on the accumulated information he will determine if an orthodontic issue exists. If the examination reveals a need for orthodontic treatment, the diagnosis and proposed treatment plan will then be discussed, as well as the probable length of treatment and total treatment fee.

Regular Appointments Every 8 to 10 Weeks
Current orthodontic systems no longer require adjustments every 3 to 5 weeks because of the advancements in research and technology. Recent orthodontic research has clearly demonstrated that lighter forces and fewer adjustments move the teeth faster and with less discomfort.
High technology, lower friction braces and thermal active wires have revolutionized orthodontic treatment, resulting in fewer adjustment appointments and a shorter time in braces. We are pleased to offer this space age technology to our patients. The entire staff is committed to continuously improving patient treatment procedures with the latest proven resources and knowledge. We will always do our best to uphold our sixty-six year tradition of excellence in orthodontics. Our office hours in Tulsa are Monday through Wednesday 8:30 to 5:00 and Thurdsay 8:00 to 4:00. Our office hours in Muskogee are the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Tuesday of the month 9:00 to 4:00
