Orthodontic examination
An assessment of tooth position and of the bite — the way the upper and lower teeth meet.
When to consult
- Your teeth overlap or have shifted over time.
- Your bite has changed, or you chew on one side only.
- You are considering aligners and want to know whether your case suits them.
- In children: permanent teeth are coming in crooked, or baby teeth are falling out unevenly.
Good to know
Some cases go beyond what a general dentist treats. When that is so, we refer you to an orthodontist — and we say so at the examination, not afterwards.
How it works
- Examination of alignment, of the bite and of the space available.
- Photographs and a digital impression.
- A panoramic radiograph if needed.
- Explanation of the options and their limits, and referral to a specialist if the case calls for it.
Frequently asked questions
At what age should a child be seen?
A first look around 7 or 8 lets us spot what is easier to correct early. That does not mean treatment starts at that age.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly.
