A virtual orthodontic consultation in Mount Laurel, NJ with Ellis Orthodontics lets you find out whether braces or Invisalign could work for you — or your child — without leaving home. Using just a few smartphone photos, Dr. Ellis or Dr. Lekht personally reviews your smile and follows up with initial treatment options.
It’s a genuine at-home smile check in Mount Laurel, NJ and beyond, not a generic online quiz. Because a real doctor reviews every submission, you get an honest, specific answer, not an automated guess.
This online orthodontist consultation in NJ is especially convenient if you’re weighing a remote Invisalign consultation for yourself and can’t easily carve out time for an office visit during the workday or school hours.

A quick note on privacy: because this process uses email, please know that standard email isn’t fully encrypted. Federal HIPAA guidelines allow us to communicate this way once you understand and accept that, and you’ll see this explained clearly before you submit any photos.
Is a Virtual Consultation Right for You?
A virtual smile assessment is a great way to get a fast, honest first opinion. For some patients — especially more complex bites — Dr. Ellis or Dr. Lekht may recommend an in-person visit to take full digital images before finalizing a treatment plan. Either path starts the same way: a free, no-obligation conversation about your smile, and full detail on what happens next lives on our new patients page.
Some patients search for an orthodontist video consult near me — our process works a little differently and, for most people, faster: instead of scheduling a live video call, you submit a few guided photos on your own time and a real doctor reviews them and responds.
The American Association of Orthodontists notes that roughly one in three orthodontic patients today are adults, many of whom are balancing work and family — exactly the kind of schedule a virtual consultation is built for.
Virtual Consultation FAQs
Is the virtual consultation really free?
Yes, just like our in-office free consultation, there’s no cost to submit your photos and get initial feedback.
What if my photos aren’t clear enough for a diagnosis?
Dr. Ellis or Dr. Lekht will let you know, and in that case we’ll simply invite you in for a free in-office consultation instead.
How long does it take to hear back?
Your doctor personally reviews your photos and follows up with treatment plan options soon after you submit them.
Can I start Invisalign after just a virtual consult, or do I need to come in?
A virtual review gives you an initial opinion; final treatment planning, including Invisalign, typically requires an in-office visit for complete digital images.
Is my health information safe if I submit it online?
We follow HIPAA guidelines and disclose upfront that standard email isn’t fully encrypted, so you can decide with full information before you submit anything.
What’s the difference between a virtual consultation and the free in-office consultation?
Virtual is photo-based and done from home; the in-office visit includes a full digital exam and same-visit treatment planning.
