Timing is individual
For younger patients, development and growth may influence timing. For adults, existing dental work and gum health may be especially relevant. An orthodontic assessment brings these factors together.
The first visit is for understanding
An assessment does not commit you to treatment. It is an opportunity to understand the concern, whether monitoring is appropriate and which options may be considered.
Compare more than appearance
Different braces and aligner systems vary in how they work and what they require from the patient. Suitability, hygiene, reviews and priorities should all be discussed.
