An orthodontist is a dentist who specializes in straightening crooked teeth. Orthodontics includes metal braces, Invisalign®, retainers, and more, and the goal of orthodontic dentistry is to move your teeth into proper alignment.
Having straight teeth gives you a beautiful smile, but it also promotes a lifetime of better oral health. When teeth are crooked, they don’t fit together properly. These misalignments can change the way you bite and chew, and crooked teeth are often harder to keep clean.
Straight teeth boost your confidence, and your oral health improves, too.
Your orthodontic consultation gives you the opportunity to meet the team at Mandana Mozayeni Orthodontics. You’ll learn more about orthodontics, your treatment options, and what you can expect if you choose Mandana Mozayeni Orthodontics for your dental care.
Dr. Mozayeni does a complete initial exam, which includes:
The team is available to answer your questions and help you decide which orthodontic treatment is right for you.
You’re ready to start treatment after your orthodontic consultation. In some cases, you can get started at the same appointment. In other cases, you’ll need to schedule an additional appointment.
Anyone — from elementary-aged children to adults — can benefit from orthodontic treatment. There’s no set age to schedule your first orthodontic consultation, but for children, earlier is sometimes better.
Many orthodontists recommend that children have their first orthodontic consultation around age 7. Even if your child doesn’t need orthodontic intervention at that time, it helps you better understand their oral health needs.
Teens and adults can come in for an orthodontic consultation any time they have questions about their smiles. Dr. Mozayeni and the team provide comprehensive evaluations to determine whether you need orthodontic care.
If you or your child starts orthodontic treatment, expect to have orthodontist appointments every four weeks or so. Dr. Mozayeni and the team monitor your progress at each appointment throughout the duration of your treatment plan.
Even though you’re visiting the orthodontist regularly, don’t forget to continue going to your general dentist every six months for dental cleanings.
