Do I need to see a general dentist before I see an
orthodontist?
If the problem is really that serious go to your local Orthodontist and go get a check
http://www.mouthhealthy.org/en/find-a-dentist/ up.
Orthodontists are dentists who went on to complete a two-year residency program in orthodontics.
They deal with more serious dental problems like issues with tooth and jaw alignment. Most people
who have http://www.san-diego-dentist.us/index.html visited an orthodontist did so because their
dentist advised them that they needed braces. Orthodontists assess alignment problems, take scans
and measurements, and fit patients with the appropriate type of braces to correct their problems
and straighten their smiles. Orthodontists used specialized equipment to assess and measure
alignment problems with the jaw and teeth, and may recommend different forms of treatment than
just braces, though this is what people think of when they hear the term "orthodontist."
The orthodontic curriculum involves intensive study of the jaw and how the teeth move.
Orthodontists primarily deal with malocclusions, or problems with an individual's bite. Some of the
primary issues they treat include:
Overbite
Underbite
Crowded Teeth
Crossbite
Improperly Spaced Teeth
