OUR GIFT TO NEW PATIENTS
Complimentary Consultation
At American River Orthodontics, we’re all about helping you find your confident smile—and that starts with getting the right info, free of charge. Whether you’re curious about braces, Invisalign, or just need a second opinion, Dr. Michael H. Payne and our team are here to make your smile journey easy and welcoming. Ready to explore your orthodontic options at no cost? Let’s dive into what our free consultation or a free second opinion can do for you!
Why Start with a Free Orthodontic Consultation?
Your First Step to a Healthy Smile
Ever wondered what orthodontic treatment could do for your teeth? Our free orthodontic consultation is your chance to find out—zero pressure, zero cost. Many orthodontists, including us, offer this initial consultation without any commitments because we believe everyone deserves a shot at a beautiful smile. Dr. Payne, your best orthodontist in Sacramento, takes a close look at your oral health, chats about your goals, and lays out a treatment plan tailored just for you.
What’s Included in Your Free Visit?
Digital CT Scan
First our dental assistant takes a digital 3D CT Scan of your teeth.
Dental Examination
This is followed by a professional examination of the teeth and gums.
Professional Consultation
We will discuss your primary issues and your wishes concerning your teeth.
Complete Treatment Plan
We devise a complete treatment plan for restoring your healthy smile.
The Power of a Free Second Opinion
Looking for a Second Orthodontist’s Opinion?
Maybe you’ve already seen a dentist or another orthodontist and aren’t sure about their diagnosis or treatment recommendations. That’s where our free orthodontic second opinion comes in! Getting a second opinion gives you a broader view of your orthodontic treatment options—think of it as a double-check for peace of mind. Board-Certified Orthodontists like Dr. Payne bring specialized training to determine the right treatment, and sometimes different opinions can uncover fresh ideas, like clear aligners over jaw surgery.
When Should You Seek a Second Opinion?
- You’re unsure about the orthodontist’s diagnosis or plan.
- The Invisalign cost or treatment timeline feels off.
- You want to explore orthodontic care options for a young child or yourself.
- Another doctor didn’t inspire confidence—or you just didn’t feel comfortable.
Second opinions can save you from costly missteps. With orthodontic treatments being a big investment, we say: why not get all the facts? Our experienced Invisalign provider, Dr. Payne, is ready to offer his expert orthodontist’s opinion—free!

LightForce™ Braces
With LightForce, your orthodontic treatment is as unique as you. Each bracket is made specifically for your tooth, allowing Dr. Payne to custom-design a faster, more comfortable treatment plan.
TMD Treatment
Jaw pain, difficulty chewing and “popping” or clicking noises from the temporomandibular jaw joint can be corrected with the right treatment.
Orthognathic Surgery Orthodontics
Treats and corrects abnormalities of the facial bones, specifically the jaws and the teeth. Often, these abnormalities (such as overbite) cause difficulty chewing, talking and sleeping. In conjunction with orthodontic treatment, can improve the overall facial profile.
