So you’ve decided to go have braces and decide to make an appointment with an orthodontist. Before you start the procedure, ask questions. Here are some possible inquires from archwired.com that will help:

  • Will those “invisible” braces (clear aligners) work for me? If not, why?

  • Will I need metal braces? On the uppers, lowers, or both?
  • Will I need headgear or other appliances? If so, how long will I need to wear it, and how many hours per day? When, in the treatment process, would the headgear be introduced?
    Will any teeth need to be extracted?

  • If I had a poking wire, could I just call and then drop in to get it clipped, or do I need to make an appointment for that?
