Perfecting Smiles since 2008

Braces World front desk team welcoming first-time visitors

Your First Visit

At Braces World Orthodontics, we want your first visit to be a positive and informative experience—one that sets the stage for a successful smile journey. Whether you’re coming in for yourself or your child, our friendly, bilingual team is here to make you feel welcome, comfortable, and confident in your care.

During your initial consultation, you’ll meet with one of our board-certified orthodontists for a complete orthodontic evaluation. We’ll use advanced technology like digital X-rays and intraoral scans to assess your teeth, jaw alignment, and bite. This visit gives us the insight we need to create a personalized treatment plan, and it gives you the chance to ask questions and explore your options.

What to expect:

  • A warm welcome from our front desk team
  • A thorough orthodontic exam with one of our doctors
  • Digital imaging (no goopy impressions!)
  • A detailed explanation of your treatment options
  • Transparent discussion about costs and timelines

We believe in honest, pressure-free conversations—we’ll never recommend treatment you don’t need. Our goal is to help you or your child achieve a healthy, confident smile with care that feels just like family.

Dr. Desiree Laracuente and staff I want to thank you my daughter had such a wonderful experience with you and your dental assistant. They both are incredibly caring, patient, and thorough throughout the entire visit. My child needed a crown and a filling, and the dentist took the time to make sure she felt comfortable, explained everything in a way that was easy for her to understand, and handled her care with so much gentleness and attention. I truly appreciated how attentive she was to my child’s comfort and well-being from beginning to end. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about her young patients and takes pride in providing excellent care. I’m so grateful we had such a positive experience, especially for a procedure that could have been scary for my child. I highly recommend her to any parent looking for a pediatric dentist who is compassionate, patient, professional, and thorough. We will definitely be returning!

They were awesome with my grandson. The Dentist, is amazing. I don’t remember his name and the two assistance were really good and we even got x-rays today. We’ve been going here for the past three years. We can never get an x-ray on him. The x-ray technician was amazing. Thank you I would highly recommend this office.
