Orthodontic Consult: Please consult with an orthodontic specialist who can examine you and determine if your problem is dental and/or skeletal. At that point, treatment options and their associated fees and time requirement will be discussed with you.

Many consultations: All orthodontists use the same tools and principles, but their approach to your individual needs may differ. One orthodontist may recommend you have 4 teeth extracted, while another proposes orthognatic surgery. Your case is unique and complicated and you should seek the advice of several skilled orthodontists to ensure you’ve been presented with all your options and time frame.

Seek information: Average time in Rx for growing children is 18-24 months, for non-growing adults 24-30 months. Malocclusions are like snowflakes, no 2 are alike. Resolving yours may be more complex than average. Consult w a qualified Orthodontic Specialist...initial examination usually free or modest cost, to learn more about yourself and what Rx to expect.
