Common questions about orthodontists
What does an orthodontist do?
An orthodontist is a dentist with two to three additional years of specialty training in straightening teeth and aligning jaws. They treat crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and bite problems using braces, clear aligners, retainers, and other appliances — for kids, teens, and adults.
At what age should a child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check-up by age 7. Most kids won’t need treatment that early, but a quick evaluation lets the orthodontist catch jaw-growth or bite issues while they’re easiest to guide — and time treatment for the best result with the least hardware.
How do I book an orthodontist consultation?
Most orthodontists offer a free or low-cost initial consultation — pick a practice above and call, or book online at offices marked "on Intake.Dental." Intake-verified offices also handle your new-patient forms digitally and accept the free Patient Passport, so your records and treatment history move with you between providers.
