During a dental checkup, your dentist will examine your teeth and gums to assess their health and identify any potential issues. If they notice any problems that may require orthodontic treatment, such as misaligned teeth or a misaligned bite, they may refer you to an orthodontist for further evaluation and treatment.
An orthodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. They have the expertise and training to determine if braces are the right treatment for your specific needs and can provide you with a personalized treatment plan. By visiting an orthodontist, you can get a comprehensive assessment of your orthodontic needs and discuss the various treatment options available to you.
