Hand Sanitizer! We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the office. You will also find some in the reception area and other places in the office for you to use as needed..
Temperature Check: Your temperature will be taken by staff using a touchless thermometer. If your temp is over 100 degrees F, you will be asked to leave and not return for the specified 14-day self-quarantine requirement..
No shortage of Laughs. You may see that our reception room will no longer offer magazines, coffee since those items are difficult to clean and disinfect..
Clean up, aisle 9. We will be sanitizing the reception area, all door handles, and common areas after each patient and minimally each hour. .
Brush your teeth before you come! We have closed down our brushing station to limit any risk of exposure. For this reason, you will be doing us a great service by brushing before you come to your appointment. .

We may look like aliens! Orthodontics is relatively non-invasive but you will see us wearing a bit more gear to protect our team and the other patients. This might mean we are wearing thicker masks, surgical gowns, and face shields for certain procedures. If you wish to know more about our protocols just ask..
6 feet closer to your new smile. Appointments will be managed to allow for social distancing between patients. That might mean that you’re offered fewer options for scheduling your appointment. .
Virtual Visits: Observations, Retainer Check and simple Invisalign Appointments will be converted to virtual visits, in order to ensure we continue to provide care while minimizing the number of patients seen at the office during this pandemic. Team members will reach out for steps to utilize virtual visits..
No access to the bathroom. So prepare for that before your arrival..
It’s all for you… We will do our best to allow greater time between patients to reduce waiting times for you, as well as to reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time. This will also allow us to thoroughly disinfect everything. As mentioned above, we will maintain the high infection control and CDC standards that we have always practiced.
