Adult orthodontics: Start by having an evaluation by an orthodontist. Adult Orthodontics is common and everyone is different. The orthodontist will explain what your options are and what to expect. It may be helpful to get a couple of consultations and find the practices that you feel most comfortable with.

Simple: Call an Orthodontic Specialist for an initial examination (usually free or modest cost). If Orthodontic Treatment is indicated, the Orthodontist will take a suite of diagnostic records, do a full evaluation of your malocclusion, and then schedule you for treatment. Hardest part?...Your Orthodontist's bad jokes.
