Health of teeth: Your General Dentist and Orthodontist through the use of a clinical exam, x-rays and periodontal evaluation can determine the health of your teeth and supporting structures and what, if any, basic dental treatment would have to be completed prior to you starting Orthodontic treatment.

Ask Orthodontist: Orthodontic forces are very light. Should not be a problem. Please schedule an appointment with an Orthodontic Specialist for an initial (free or low cost) examination where all your questions will be answered. Good luck.
