Dental team: Seems like you need a good restorative/general dentist and an orthodontist to work together as a team. Call your local dental society or dental school for names. Also, get recommendations from people you respect.

You need a dentist: Start with a dentist, he can clear your dental health (including gums), than he can referr your or sometimes treat you for your orthodontic needs.

Ask: Ask your family dentist to refer you to a qualified orthodontic specialist. Initial exam usually free. Orthodontists offer payment plans. Also consider the orthodontic department at any us dental school.
