What Happens at the Orthodontist ?


When you plan to visit an Orthodontist in Tustin, you will visit a dental office where the dentist will be sitting on the chair and the orthodontic technician might take an x-ray if required of your mouth so that dentists can look deeply into the problem. The pictures of your mouth will be computerized. Through x-ray, the orthodontist will be capable to see where the teeth are positioned or whether your teeth have some issues.

There are more chances that the dentist will make a mold/impression of your teeth by pressing a tray with sticky material in the top and bottom teeth. On removal of the mold, the impression will give a perfect look due to the improved shape and size of your teeth. Through mold, the dentist can easily decide which teeth need to be straightened and how to straighten. Before providing any of the treatment, he will examine the problem thoroughly by looking deeply into the teeth, mouth, and jaws. He/she may ask you to open your mouth to check deeply into the teeth for more information. 

On finding any of the issues, he will ask you whether you have problems while chewing or swallowing or whether your jaws ever click or pop when you open your mouth. In case there are no serious issues in your teeth then the Orthodontist in Tustin will let you know and recommend you not take any treatment.
