First Visit at Naylor Orthodontics
We can’t wait to welcome you to Naylor Orthodontics! When you arrive at either of our offices in Maysville, KY 41056 or West Union, OH 45693, our front desk team will greet you and help you get started.
Dr. Rachel Naylor will perform a thorough orthodontic evaluation and personally review her findings with you and your family. We believe in clear communication, honest recommendations, and making sure every patient feels comfortable and informed.
The Purpose of Your Initial Examination
Your first visit is designed to answer important questions, including:
- Is there an orthodontic problem present?
- When is the ideal time to begin treatment?
- What type of treatment is recommended?
- How long will treatment take?
- What will the investment be?
Our goal is to provide clarity, not pressure, so you can confidently make the best decision for your smile.
What Happens Next?
If treatment is recommended, we will schedule an appointment to gather diagnostic records. In some cases, these records can be completed the same day.
Diagnostic records may include digital X-rays, photographs, and detailed images of your teeth. Dr. Naylor carefully reviews this information to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your smile.
How Much Does Orthodontic Treatment Cost?
The cost of braces or orthodontic treatment depends on the complexity of your individual case. During your consultation, our treatment coordinator will clearly review:
- Your recommended treatment plan
- Flexible payment options
- 0% in-house financing
- Insurance benefits
We are committed to making orthodontic care affordable for families in Maysville and West Union.
Case Presentation & Starting Treatment
After Dr. Naylor carefully reviews your diagnostic records, she will present your personalized treatment plan at your next visit. During this appointment, she will explain your options, answer your questions, and ensure you feel confident moving forward.
Once you approve the plan, we will schedule your first treatment appointment. This is when your braces or orthodontic appliances are placed. The visit typically lasts 30–60 minutes, and our team will make sure you are comfortable and fully informed every step of the way.
Visiting Naylor Orthodontics During Treatment
Routine visits every 4–8 weeks are essential to keep your orthodontic treatment progressing smoothly. Our team works hard to schedule appointments that fit your family’s busy routine. If you ever need to adjust your appointment time, simply give us a call, we’re happy to help.
Throughout treatment, it’s important to continue seeing your general dentist every six months for cleanings and regular checkups. If additional dental care is needed, Dr. Naylor will coordinate with your dentist to ensure you receive comprehensive, well-aligned care.
Office Hours & Appointments
We value your time and make every effort to stay on schedule. Appointments are reserved specifically for your treatment needs and questions.
To help us maintain an efficient schedule for all patients, we kindly ask that you arrive on time. Your cooperation allows us to provide the best experience for everyone we serve.
Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that starting orthodontic treatment comes with questions. Below are answers to some of the most common things families in Maysville and West Union ask before their first visit.
Do I need a referral from my dentist to see an orthodontist?
No referral is necessary. While many general dentists recommend patients to us, you can schedule a complimentary consultation directly with Naylor Orthodontics at any time.
How do I know if my child needs braces?
Common signs include crowded teeth, early or late loss of baby teeth, difficulty chewing, mouth breathing, thumb-sucking habits, or jaws that shift or make sounds. Even if you’re unsure, an early orthodontic evaluation can provide peace of mind.
What should we bring to the first orthodontic appointment?
Please bring your insurance information (if applicable) and complete any online patient forms prior to your visit. If you have recent dental X-rays, those can be helpful but are not required.
What makes Naylor Orthodontics different from other orthodontists near me?
With more than 20 years of experience, Dr. Rachel Naylor provides personalized, specialty orthodontic care in a welcoming environment. We focus on clear communication, honest recommendations, and long-term smile stability for every patient.
How often will I need to miss school or work?
Most adjustment visits are brief and scheduled every 4–8 weeks. We do our best to offer appointment times that minimize disruption to school and work schedules.
