I'm interested to know what happens before you get braces?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Everyone's different: See orthodontist for full evaluation. You may then need to see dentist for check-up, cleaning, Fluoride treatment, gum treatments, extractions, fillings, etc. Then orthodontist will place braces, as determined by the evaluation, and will correct your malocclusion.
