At orthodontic consultations, patients undergo an exam so our dentist can identify irregularities requiring correction. Depending on the issues present, patients may qualify for several treatment options. Some individuals may also require more than one type of appliance to achieve their goals. Our dentist uses photos, bite impressions and X-rays for use in planning treatment regardless of the type of braces chosen. If necessary, restorations can also be scheduled before orthodontic treatment begins. Finally, our dentist will answer any questions patients have about treatment options. At the end of the appointment, patients will have a good idea of what their own orthodontic correction will involve and how long it will take.
Orthodontic consultations are the backbone of treatment for every patient seeking braces. Afterwards, patients can start treatment and eventually emerge with teeth that not only look great but also support their oral and overall health better than before. Patients interested in getting braces can contact our orthodontist in San Pedro to schedule a personal consultation.
