Your First Visit

Home » Patient Resources » Your First Visit

Free Initial Consultation

Every beautiful, confident smile starts with a free initial consultation! For your convenience, we have combined three appointments into one 60-minute visit. We know your time is valuable, so to expedite treatment, we will obtain free diagnostic records at this visit!

This complimentary appointment includes:

  • Digital photographs.
  • Diagnostic digital panoramic x-ray.
  • Scans or impressions of your teeth, if treatment is needed.
  • A comprehensive orthodontic evaluation.
  • A thorough discussion of problems and treatment options as well as optimal timing to initiate your orthodontic treatment.
  • Time to review in detail flexible and affordable payment options.

We look forward to welcoming you very soon!

Important Appointment Reminders

In an effort to improve our service to you, our schedule is designed with these goals in mind:

  • Reduce waiting time by seeing you on time for your appointment.
  • Have plenty of time during each appointment to complete the necessary treatment.
  • Have time to answer any questions you have about your treatment.

You can help us meet these goals and ensure the progress of your treatment by:

Being on time for your appointment (in fairness to other scheduled patients, if you are late, we may need to reschedule your appointment). As our appointments are usually scheduled 6 to 8 weeks in advance, it may be several weeks before we can reschedule the appointment.

Call ahead as soon as you have any broken or loose brackets or appliances so we can set aside the necessary treatment time (more time may be added to your appointment or we may not be able to do everything we had planned to do for you at this appointment).

Re-Scheduling Your Appointment

Rescheduling appointments may delay your treatment, so please make every effort to be at your scheduled appointment and on time! We know that things happen and there will be times that you may need to reschedule an appointment. Please give us a call as soon as possible so that we can promptly reschedule your appointment. By doing so, we can avoid extending your time in braces and get you rescheduled as quickly as possible.

Having a large number of rescheduled appointments can result in increased treatment time and additional charges.

I'm in love with this orthodontist, everyone is nice and actually take care of you! I just finished my orthodontist traitment and it was awesome! I will fully recommend you guys to come and give an opportunity to this nice place
Laura B.
Everyone is always very friendly and helpful. Made you feel comfortable every time we visited.
Michele S.
My son had a great experience getting his braces on! Or should I say it was seamless. Everyone was friendly and easy to work with.
Tiffany
I really like VanLaecken Orthodontics in Watertown! Everyone we came in contact with that works there had a smile and seemed genuinely happy. Once the doctor came in, he was quick and thorough while being friendly and hospitable at the same time. He even heard a question I had forgotten to ask him right after I shut the door so he calmly came back in and answered my question without making my child and I feel like we were a bother to him. Definitely somewhere I would recommend anyone! Great hospitality all the way around!
Brandi S.
Fantastic staff! Always welcoming! I'm now on my second child getting braces, and it's been a great experience!
Kayla M.
Vanlaecken Orthodontics has been a great experience for myself and our kids. Everyone is so kind and explains things thoroughly. I have recommended them to many friends looking for orthodontic care. We have seen Dr. Rob and Dr. Ryan and they are very personable and have great “bedside” manner. We appreciate their quality care for our kids.
Sarah S.
My child was very comfortable with the professional and friendly people. Beautiful office. I would definitely recommend this place.
Leisha M.
Always very friendly and knowledgeable. We travel from Sioux Falls and it’s always been worth it as they treat us very well!!
Sarah V.
Our son had a very complex mouth- he spent nearly 3 years in braces, but the care he received at VanLaecken Orthodontics was incredible. From the facilities to the front desk, assistants, and doctors, we could have not asked for better care.
Emily S.
Great experience. Highly recommend VanLaecken for orthodontic needs. My daughter began her journey on March 13, 2024. She got her braces off on June 10, 2026. An amazing transformation!! Thank you so much to everyone at VanLaecken!!
kristin O.
