The best age to visit an orthodontist is around 3 years old, when all of the child’s baby teeth have come in. At that point, the orthodontist can analyze the patient’s bite, identify any harmful habits, and provide guidance to prevent the development of dentofacial deformities. If you want to improve your appearance and your smile, any age is a good time to visit an orthodontist.
This will give you the opportunity to meet our team, learn more about orthodontics, receive a comprehensive dental and orthodontic examination, and find out which treatment options best suit your needs. During the initial consultation, X-rays will be taken, impressions of your dental arches and bite will be made, and a complete photographic record will be created.
The data collected from your examination, including impressions of your dental arches and bite, X-rays, and photographs, is sufficient for the orthodontist to develop your individual treatment plan, which will be presented to you at the second appointment. During this appointment, you will discuss all aspects of your orthodontic issue, and the orthodontist will explain the stages, approximate duration, and appliances used for treatment, as well as all financial details.
Once you have approved the treatment plan, we will schedule an appointment for the placement of the selected orthodontic appliance.
Before Treatment
Before starting orthodontic treatment, it is mandatory that all diseases of the hard dental tissues (cavities, pulpitis, and complications from endodontic treatment) and periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) must be treated. It is not possible to initiate orthodontic treatment if there are active inflammatory processes.
