Proper root inspection

[SaraJean]

So I bought 4 new orchids that are in opaque plastic pots. The plants themselves appear to be healthy, none are in bloom yet or throwing out flower spikes, but I would like to inspect the roots. How do I do this with out screwing up the root systems? Can I gently pull the plant out, try my hardest not to disturb the roots or the growing media, and place it back in its original pot? Or do I take a more wait-n-see approach and if the plants start to look funky, then pull it out of its pot and look at the roots. I also might need to re-pot my Sharry Baby but I will wait until I can post pics to get some advice on that.

Thanks!
