Orthodontics Assessment

During an orthodontics assessment, our dentist examines the patient to check for problems with their bite or the placement of the upper and lower jaws. We’ll also assess how spaced out the teeth are along the jaws.

How does it work?

We take a panoramic x-ray to check if you have impacted or missing teeth. We also check if your alveolar bone is strong or dense enough to withstand the movement that happens during orthodontic therapy. Lastly, we take bite impressions by pouring alginate into little trays and inserting it into the patient’s mouth.

Why would you need an orthodontic assessment?

The results of our assessment allow us to study the placement of your teeth and your bite and figure out the direction of the treatment.

Why should you go for Orthodontics Assessment at Sea Breeze Dentistry?

According to most people, it is good to start orthodontic treatment in a teenager. However, as per the recent studies and developed advanced treatment, it is possible to even at a young age too. As a parent, it’s necessary to bring your child to dental care for an orthodontic evaluation at the age of 7 to 9. The orthodontist will identify the areas where you have problems and then start resolving them one by one. By performing this at an early age, you can reduce the discomfort of your child.

Benefits of receiving Orthodontics Assessment:

Creating space for New Teeth

When your child’s permanent teeth come in their mouth, get crowded. These teeth can have bad alignments, and therefore the orthodontic creates space for the new teeth.

Potential Dental Issues

By visiting for this process, you can also get aware of the other potential pre-dental or post-dental issues. You can also find some other issues like mouth breathing, jaw shifting, and all that show you are going to face complex dental issues.

Oral Hygiene Habits

The regular visit to orthodontics also helps to adopt oral hygiene habits. If your kid continues to suck their thumb at the age of 3 and 4, then it’s time to tell them the oral hygiene habits.
