Absolutely: First, you should visit a general dentist who will examine you and determine if you need any restorative care before orthodontic treatment. Once it is determined that your teeth and gingiva are healthy, you will be referred to an orthodontic specialist. They will determine what needs to be done to give you the perfect smile you want.
