How The Process Works
Let's get started by sharing a little about you. You'll also take some pictures of your teeth.
Step 1:
Use your smartphone and a buddy to take these 8 important photos. The clearer your pictures, the more Dr. Catherine can help!
Tips for great photos: Make sure your room is bright. Use two spoons to gently hold your cheeks away from your teeth. This makes your teeth more visible in the photos. A friend or family member can help take these pictures.
Step 2:

Step 3:
All set! Dr. Catherine will go over your photos and get back to you with options for your treatment plan.
