you need an exam and xrays first. the dentist may have other options for you. It will be fine
Reply:just call the orthodontist you want to go to and set up a consultation.


they usually take xrays and molds of your teeth.


you dont really have to have them cleaned.


but they will tell you everything you will need done when you go
Reply:they take pictures of inside of mouth and your face, they take x-rays, one machine goes around ur head so it x-rays ur whole skull and teeth and jaw. Thye may stick there fingers with gloves on in your mouth just to see if something feels uncomfortable like in the back where th molars are..its very quick and painless. They ask u if your jaw clicks or cracks, if u get headaches etc. They also tell u to bite down alot so they can see wat your teeth r like. They will count how many teeth u have and take molds. Its genarally wat i just said. I think its a consulation check-up. It is best to get a dental cleaning by ur dentist BEFORE the braces get put on!! And brush gently and often when u get them bcuz cavities will come especially around brackets!!!! I had no cavities when i got them but when i got them off i already had like 4 fillings! Its just there r so many crevacices u have to floss and use listerine and brush, brush , brush very well and gently. Braces r definetly worth it!!!!


Oh yeah make sure the ortho has clean gloves before he/she puts their hands/instruments in ur mouth etc.


And a word of avice if u get medal braces, stay away from the white rubber band things!!! Get pink or blue or gray etc instead, the white ones turn yellow and make ur mouth look gross!!
Reply:well, you go to the othrodontists, they check your teeth and later take molds, x-rays, pics, ect. then, they tell you what you need and explain why and what it is.
Reply:you just go to the orthodontist and they tell you if you need braces
