Consultation with an orthodontist is the first step in diagnosing and correcting malocclusion, abnormal tooth positioning, and dentofacial disproportions. Orthodontic treatment helps improve smile aesthetics and restore proper function of the dentoalveolar system.
When is a consultation required?
A consultation is recommended in cases of dental crowding, malocclusion, interdental gaps, or facial asymmetry. It is also indicated for early or delayed replacement of primary teeth in children, impaired chewing, breathing or speech, frequent headaches, and teeth grinding (bruxism). An orthodontist’s consultation is necessary for selecting orthodontic appliances such as braces, aligners, retainers, and functional devices.
How does the consultation take place?
The orthodontist performs a clinical examination of the oral cavity, assesses the bite, tooth alignment, and the function of masticatory muscles. If required, additional diagnostic tests are prescribed, including panoramic radiography (orthopantomogram), lateral cephalometric radiography, and computed tomography (CT). Based on the findings, an individualized orthodontic treatment plan is developed with selection of the most appropriate appliances.
Main advantages of orthodontic treatment
Orthodontic treatment corrects malocclusion and tooth position, improving both aesthetics and function of the dentoalveolar system. It helps prevent problems with chewing, speech, and temporomandibular joint development. The use of modern techniques—such as bracket systems, aligners, and mini-implants—makes treatment more comfortable and effective.
