Request a Virtual Consultation
Emily Funk Orthodontics is proud to offer virtual consultations to patients interested in treatment with us. Send in the photos demonstrated below to get started from the comfort of your home. Dr. Funk will review your photos and send you her preliminary recommendations.
Virtual consultations are a great way to find out more information about your smile before you come to see us, but there is no substitute for an in-person exam. Our office provides comprehensive orthodontic care and Dr. Funk will need a thorough look at your teeth and gums, as well as x-rays before we begin any treatment.
Consultations are free with no obligation! We look forward to letting you know how we can help you achieve a beautiful and confident smile.
