Expect a warm welcome when you walk in the door. We invite you to get acquainted with Faith and Amy, our receptionists, as well as Nicole and Caity, Dr. Wilke's treatment coordinators. Dr. Kevin Wilke will conduct a thorough orthodontic examination and explain all aspects of treatment himself.

At this initial appointment, Dr. Wilke will be evaluating your orthodontic needs as well as addressing any questions or concerns you may have about orthodontic treatment.We will also take x-rays and photographs to help us better evaluate your individual situation. If you had recent x-rays taken, we will obtain copies from your dentist.

Orthodontic benefits may be part of your dental policy. If you have dental insurance, we will verify benefits and submit claims for you as a courtesy. Any unpaid balance by insurance would become your responsibility. There are different levels of benefits. Typically, orthodontic benefits have a lifetime maximum which is separate from dental benefits.

When it was time for my three children to start orthodontic treatment, it was an easy decision to have Dr. Kevin Wilke treat them. I was so pleased with both Dr. Wilke and his staff that I decided to have adult orthodontic treatment as well. Dr. Wilke was realistic in what he could accomplish for me and my children, and the timeline it would take.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that most children should have an orthodontic screening by age 7. This enables Dr. Kevin Wilke to determine if orthodontic treatment will be required and the best time for the patient to be treated. Many of the dentists in our community have been trained to identify orthodontic problems early and may refer you to our office earlier than age 7.
