Orthodontic examinations
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that studies dental and jaw deformities, deviations in the location of teeth and intermaxillary relationships, as well as methods for their prevention and treatment.
How does the first visit to an orthodontist go?
First, we take a complete history of the patient, then we carefully listen to the history of the problem. We take a status and take intraoral, extraoral and X-rays. We scan the dentition with an intraoral scanner and do a full orthodontic analysis.
We discuss which orthodontic treatment option is most appropriate in your case and offer different solutions to the problem.
Questions that the orthodontist will answer during the first visit:
- Is there an orthodontic problem?
- When should treatment begin and what will be the consequences of delaying it?
- What will the treatment be like?
- How long will the treatment last?
- How much will the treatment cost?
Why should you visit an orthodontist before the age of 7?
- Early treatment can prevent serious problems with the development of the chewing apparatus.
- Early treatment may shorten future treatment or make it easier
- Orthodontists can notice very small problems in jaw growth and tooth eruption, even during mixed dentition.
