Questions patients ask

Common questions

Do I need a referral to ask about braces?
Referral requirements vary. Patients can contact the orthodontic office to ask about the current consultation process.
Can I choose an appliance before the examination?
You can have preferences, but the diagnosis should determine which options are clinically suitable.
Why are retainers discussed before treatment starts?
Because retention is part of the full orthodontic plan and affects the long-term stability of the result.
