An orthodontic consultation is an initial appointment with a dental specialist to assess the need for orthodontic treatment, which includes the use of braces or aligners to correct misaligned teeth and improve overall oral health. The dentist evaluates bite issues, tooth positioning, jaw growth, and may also discuss possible treatments, durations, costs, and alternative solutions. Consultation plans often involve x-rays and model impressions to visualize dental concerns before proposing customized treatment plans.
