Absolutely: Please see an Orthodontic Specialist for an (usually free) Initial Exam and discussion of your malocclusion (bad biter) and your treatment alternatives. Your Orthodontist will consult with, and work with, the Dentist of your choice to assure that your mouth is disease free and teeth are healthy before starting tooth movement. Your Lupus should not affect Orthodontic care.
