29 Jul Why see an Orthodontist?
We can all agree that having the right tool for a job is essential. Similarly, having the right care provider to address your specific smile related issues and concerns is essential as well!
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends seeking out an evaluation by a certified orthodontist where issues of smile and a functional bite are concerned. Orthodontists are highly educated specialists who diagnose, prevent, and treat dental and facial irregularities to correctly align teeth and jaws.
Orthodontic problems are complex, and there is no quick fix for them! When you begin orthodontic treatment, you are taking on a involved biological process that changes the jaw bones, facial bones, and soft tissue to move teeth into a new position.
To get started on this process safely and effectively, you should seek out a certified orthodontic provider for a thorough in-person exam. This exam should include diagnostic records like x-rays and photos and an examination conducted by an orthodontist. With this full-picture exam, your orthodontist will develop a custom treatment plan to best address your individual needs.
