Which form should you use for a new patient orthodontist appointment?
Choose based on the age of the person getting treatment, not the person typing.
- Child form: for anyone under 18, filled out by a parent or guardian.
- Adult form: for patients 18 and older, including moms and dads who want their own smile evaluated.
Scheduling for more than one child? Send a separate child form for each, so every record is ready before the visit.
What should you have ready to book an orthodontic consultation?
The form goes quickly when the details are within reach. Gather these first:
- ✓Your dental insurance card, if you have orthodontic coverage
- ✓Your general dentist’s name and office phone number
- ✓Health history, including medications and allergies
- ✓Any concerns you’ve noticed, like crowding, gaps, or a bite that feels off
Sharing insurance details before a new patient orthodontist appointment gives our team time to review benefits, so the financial conversation at your visit is clear and simple.
What happens after you send the form?
Once your form arrives, a team member will call to confirm a day and time for the new patient orthodontist appointment. Prefer texting? Message (732) 617-1211 and we’ll pick it up from there.
Our orthodontist scheduling team works around school calendars, sports seasons, and work shifts. If the first time offered doesn’t fit, just say so and we’ll find another.

Who should book a new patient orthodontist appointment?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first evaluation by age 7, when early bite and jaw issues are easier to spot. Teens and adults are great candidates too.
If you’re unsure whether your child is ready, a new patient orthodontist appointment answers that question, even when the advice is simply to wait and watch growth.
Is there a fee for a new patient orthodontist appointment?
No. The consultation is free for children, teens, and adults. If treatment is recommended, we’ll go over interest-free monthly payment plans and handle insurance coordination for you.
Why do TG Orthodontics new patients feel at ease?
Dr. Tara Gostovich is an ABO board-certified orthodontist in Marlboro, NJ, an Invisalign Platinum+ provider, and a Top Dentists NJ honoree. She leads every case herself.
That means TG Orthodontics new patients see the same specialist from the first scan through the final retainer check. Options range from LightForce braces to Invisalign, and you’ll hear the pros and cons of each.
How can you help your child feel ready?
Tell your child the first visit is mostly looking and talking, with no shots and no drills. It can also help to explain that the scanner is a lot like a small camera.
If your child is nervous, mention it when we confirm the new patient orthodontist appointment. Our team will take things at a slower pace and explain each step first.
