A Consult From
Your Couch
With Rio Grande Orthodontics
Bring your bite back with Rio Grande Orthodontics—an expert orthodontic practice that understands your needs.
Without leaving your couch, verify whether or not you’re a candidate for braces or Invisalign. The doctors will survey your smile and advise you on what steps to take next.
How It Works
First, we’ll need a little bio info from you. Then, you’ll take a few photos of your teeth.
Step 1:
With your smartphone and someone to help you, replicate these 8 photos below. The better the picture you send, the more we can see and discuss!
Need help taking photos? Try to make sure that the room is well-lit for the best quality photos.
A good way to help retract your cheeks away from your teeth during the photos is for you to hold your cheeks with 2 spoons, while your friend or family member takes the photos for you.
Step 2:
Fill out the form below.
Step 3:
All done! One of our doctors will review your photos and will get back to you soon with your treatment plan options.
