We can’t wait to meet you and help you discover the transformational journey of orthodontics! Our team is committed to making every visit enjoyable and educational.
During your first visit, one of our treatment coordinators will take orthodontic-specific records (X-rays and photos). After a comprehensive examination by your orthodontist, we’ll discuss orthodontic treatment options, estimated treatment length, and all associated finances. This is a wonderful time to ask any questions you may have. In many cases, we offer convenient same-day starts to save an additional trip to the office and avoid missing extra school.
If your child is not ready for treatment at this time, you will be encouraged to come for periodic appointments to monitor the growth and development of the teeth and jaws. We always aim to start treatment at the optimal time in order to minimize total treatment time and obtain the best possible result.
At Hawaii Smile Designs, we make orthodontic care affordable and stress-free. Every treatment plan is tailored to your needs, and our team takes the time to explain costs and flexible payment options upfront. With in-house financing, 0% interest, and low down payments, we ensure your treatment fits your budget. We also accept credit/debit cards, cash, checks, ACH payments, and work directly with your insurance provider to maximize benefits and handle paperwork on your behalf. For added convenience, new patient forms are available online to complete before your first appointment, saving you time and ensuring accurate financial planning. Whether it’s cost, insurance claims, or treatment preparation, our team is here to guide you at every step and make your experience smooth and transparent.
Your smile journey doesn’t stop at braces or aligners—it’s about maintaining oral health every step of the way. Our team provides detailed guidance on proper hygiene, recommending tools like electric toothbrushes, water flossers, and plaque-revealing toothpaste to keep your teeth and gums healthy. We also help you protect your appliances by advising against sticky, hard, and sugary foods that can damage braces and delay progress. In case of emergencies such as loose brackets, poking wires, or lost separators, we provide quick solutions and same-day support to keep your treatment on track. Temporary at-home fixes are also shared to reduce discomfort until you can visit our office. With personalized care tips, emergency guidance, and long-term support, we ensure your orthodontic treatment is safe, effective, and as comfortable as possible.
