Virtual orthodontic appointments have become a convenient option for busy patients. As an alternative to coming into the office for certain steps, a virtual consultation is an easy way to get expert guidance from wherever you are. If you or someone you know is considering braces or clear aligners, here are four benefits of virtual orthodontic appointments with Dr. Amir Davoody at Davoody & Hablinski Orthodontics.
1. No waiting room
A virtual visit skips the waiting room entirely. You typically join a brief virtual waiting area, then move into the call when the team is ready, so you spend your time on the appointment, not sitting around.
2. Saves time
Not every consultation or routine check-in needs an in-person visit. Virtual appointments save time for everyone: you join from home or work in a few minutes, and we can review your questions and next steps efficiently before scheduling any hands-on care that is needed.
3. Convenience from anywhere
Meeting with Dr. Davoody from your home, office, or even while traveling makes it easy to stay on top of your care. With no travel or waiting, a virtual consultation is a simple way to get answers and decide on next steps.
4. Easier to include others
A virtual visit makes it easy to loop in the right people. If you have a referral from your general dentist, your dentist can join the call to explain a concern in more detail, so both providers are on the same page about your treatment options. Parents can also join a child’s virtual consultation from wherever they are.
When is an in-person visit still needed?
Virtual visits are ideal for initial consultations, quick questions, and some check-ins, but hands-on steps such as placing braces, taking a 3D scan for aligners, adjustments, and certain evaluations still happen in the office. Dr. Davoody will let you know which parts of your care can be handled virtually and which need a visit to our Kirby Drive office.
