Think you or a loved one needs an orthodontic evaluation? The first step is to visit your general dentist or family dentist. Because orthodontists are dental specialists, it's likely that you'll need a referral from your general dentist. Once you get that, you can schedule your orthodontic evaluation.

Here's what to expect: Your orthodontist will evaluate your bite and even take intraoral photographs and panoramic X-rays. In most cases, your orthodontist will also create an impression of your teeth in order to assess what kind of dental treatment plan is best for you. The whole process is pain-free and typically done in just one visit.

Orthodontics was once a branch of dentistry that primarily served young people, especially teens and pre-teens. But today, more and more adults are turning to orthodontists for treatments such as dental braces. Why? One of the reasons is that there are simply more dental braces options that fit into the adult lifestyle. Popular adult braces choices include speed braces, which take about half as long as traditional braces; Invisalign®, which uses a set of clear, hardly noticeable, aligners; and lingual braces, which are placed behind the teeth and are virtually undetectable!

How do you know what type of dental braces are right for you? It's simple: Visit an orthodontist or a braces dentist. To find a recommended orthodontist or braces dentist, just call us at 1-866-970-9853.
