Specialist Consultation & Airway Assessment

Dr. Wigal or Dr. Kluemper will perform a thorough clinical examination that goes beyond just teeth. We evaluate your facial structure, jaw development, and airway health to create a plan designed for long-term stability. This is the time to ask questions—we want you to understand how your treatment supports your overall health.

Do you need a dentist referral to see an orthodontist?

No referral is necessary. You can schedule a complimentary evaluation at any time to discuss your facial growth or functional concerns.

To make your check-in seamless, please bring your insurance card and any recent dental X-rays if you have them. We also recommend completing your digital forms to help us streamline your visit.

Your first visit is a complimentary, comprehensive evaluation. This includes a clinical exam by our board-certified specialists to discuss your unique facial structure and treatment needs.

We reserve approximately 60 minutes for your first visit. This ensures we can provide a detailed explanation of our findings and answer your questions without feeling rushed.
