Your orthodontic<\/a> consultation is your opportunity to find out everything you can about straightening your teeth before beginning the treatment process. While orthodontics will involve a long ongoing conversation about your needs, starting out on the right foot is still essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re stuck on what to ask at your consultation, or if you\u2019re worried that you\u2019re missing something important, here are a few things that are worth touching on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Kind of Treatment Would Be Best for Me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Modern orthodontics is much bigger than just traditional braces. While they\u2019re still used often, Invisalign aligners are also quite popular, and most orthodontists you\u2019ll talk to will offer both. The goal of the consultation is to determine what the process of aligning your smile is going to look like, and establishing what variety of treatment you should get (and what your orthodontist offers) is a great place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long Should My Treatment Take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While things sometimes come up that can extend the length of treatment, it\u2019s still smart to get a good idea of what you\u2019re in for before beginning orthodontic care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expected timeline has a lot to do with the severity of the misalignment you\u2019re dealing with and what kind of orthodontic system you\u2019re using. Your orthodontist will be able to give you enough information so that you can be mentally prepared before beginning your smile journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Will My Life Change?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No matter what orthodontic system you use, aligning your teeth involves a fair amount of lifestyle changes. You\u2019ll have to get used to either brushing your braces or cleaning your aligners, as well as coming into the dentist\u2019s office periodically for check-ins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much you\u2019re willing to commit to the treatment affects how long it\u2019s likely to take, so going in with a concept of what the process will entail is an important part of being prepared for the months ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
