That depends on your insurance!. So first check with your insurance to see if you need to be referred to an orthodontist by a regular dentist first!. If yes, you will need to find a good dentist in your area, ask your friends and family for a good one!. If you don't need a referral, then again, ask around to friends and family to find a good orthodontist!. Good LuckWww@Answer-Health@Com
Okay!. If your dentist has told you you need braces already and has asked you too see a orthodontist then yes, go ahead and schedule a orthodontist appointment for your first time!. If not go to the dentist because some things might have changed or you might have to get a tooth pulled!. The only really steps there are is you get an appointment for the orthodontist where they x-ray your teeth see what they need to do!. if you have a bite of some sort they will give you a retainer but i cannot specify what kind because everyone is different!. : ) then you have some check up appointments where they just check up on you!. then they give you braces!.

well if you KNOW you need
braces go to the orthontist!.
find a good one because i kept
going to one and she wanted me
to keep coming for 6 months before i got
them then i went to another and got them
the first visit!. but they'll clean your teeth
take xrays or whatever and then real
pictures then take impressions of your
teeth and then put your braces on! (:

Dont go to a random dentist because they cant give you braces anyways, only orthodontist can, so you need to contact an orthodontist and I would do that soon because braces take awhile to get after going through all the retainers and things,Www@Answer-Health@Com
Generally you would see your dentist first!. He will check your teeth, clean them, make sure none will need pulling, fill any holes, etc!. That way when you see the orthodontist everything is ready to go!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Talk to people you know & who's opinion you trust to decide on an orthodontist!. Then check with your insurance to see if you can get the cost covered!. Then call the orthodontist & schedule a consultation!. Good luck! Www@Answer-Health@Com
