An answer in orthodontics!!?
Question:
Answers:
You simply need to call a dentist and make a regular appointment for checkup and cleaning. From there, they will take x-rays and determine what is really taking place with your teeth. Usually then the dentist will determine how bad the teeth are and recommend an orthodontist for braces or he/she may already be an orthodontist and can do them for you. One strong suggestion though, please make sure that you 'shop around' for a reputable dentist/ortho, and check out the price differences as well. You'll be amazed at the cost differences!! Good Luck and make sure you take care of those teeth!
You have to see your regular dentist and he will refer you to an orthodontist. He will send the orthodontist your x-rays and other info. You need to see your dentist every 6 months. If you do get braces you are responsible for seeing your regular dentist every 6 months for routine checkups and cleanings. These are a must for people with braces and this is not something your othodontist does.
