What happens the appointment before you get braces?

Before getting braces, you typically have an appointment for a comprehensive dental examination. During this visit, the orthodontist will take X-rays, photographs, and impressions of your teeth to assess your dental alignment and create a personalized treatment plan. They may also discuss the types of braces available, the estimated duration of treatment, and any necessary preparatory steps, such as tooth extractions or cleaning. This appointment sets the stage for your orthodontic journey.
