Did you know that straight teeth protect your smile against common problems like tooth decay, cavities and gum disease? This is because teeth that are in correct alignment are easier to brush and floss effectively, making you less susceptible to developing these issues.
At Oasis Smiles Dental, we offer comprehensive orthodontic care for families in Tamworth. Children should have their first orthodontic evaluation around age seven or eight, as some will benefit from early intervention. Here's what you can expect during an initial orthodontic evaluation.
Your First Orthodontic Visit in Tamworth
The first step is to take photos and x-rays of your teeth. Our dentists also gather information by providing a thorough exam, which they use to determine if orthodontic treatment will benefit your smile. We'll also talk about your options for braces or clear aligners, and which treatment might be best for your needs. Clear aligners work well for many patients, but may not solve complex bite concerns.
You'll leave your orthodontic consultation in Tamworth with a clear understanding of your treatment options, the timeline for completing your treatment, and the cost. Our team can also help you navigate your payment options, including information about health funds and third-party payment plans with companies like humm® or Afterpay. It's our goal to help educate and empower you to make informed decisions for your smile.
