Virtual Consultations
If you don't have time for a full office visit or you just prefer getting answers from home, we offer complimentary virtual consultations.
Convenient
They only take a few minutes of your time and can answer almost any question you have about orthodontics, Invisalign, braces, and the smile transformation process.
We understand that life is busy. Our goal is to provide you with everything you need to decide if orthodontic treatment is right for you.
We strive to make orthodontic treatment easy for everyone. Virtual consultations are available in our office and only take a few minutes of your time. They are a fast way to get answers to any questions you may have on Invisalign and braces, including how long and how much for your personal case.
It's that easy! Simply take some photos with your cell phone and email them directly to the doctor.
Two Steps
Step One:
Take 6 easy photos using the Sample Photo Gallery below as your guide.
The doctor will be evaluating issues such as bite, cosmetic symmetry, and a variety of issues that can be easily assessed with a proper photo.
*Make sure your back teeth are TOUCHING in their natural position (where you bite when you smile)!
Step Two:
Send us your photos and it is also helpful if you include with them at least a couple of your concerns about treatment.
Text photos to:
Dr. Spokane 724-601-3549
Dr. Karski 724-991-0103
The doctor will evaluate your photos and spend some time developing treatment plans and customizing options to meet your personal needs.
We Will Contact You
A team member will get back to you as soon as possible with more information on whether braces or Invisalign will work to meet your needs, a rough idea of financial options, and about how long your treatment would take. If you have additional questions you want answered, please include them in your message. Everyone has unique and valid concerns that we are eager to address on an individual basis.
Why Wait? Get Started Now!
Take six photos just like these using your cell phone:
Sample Photo Gallery
* In the first four photos, try to make sure your back teeth are TOUCHING in their natural position (where you bite when you smile)!
* The last two photos present the entire arch from a totally different perspective where we examine each arch.
These six photos give the doctor views of your teeth from right and left sides, the upper and lower arch, show how your bite fits together, and more!
