Does a Orthodontist check height and weight?!


Question: Does a Orthodontist check height and weight?
Now me and my friend are having a debate:
A.)I believe that the Orthodontist doesn't check you height & weight, they deals with teeth!
B.)My friend believes that since it's different from a dentist, they do need to know those things.
Who is right?
Please && Thank You!

Answers:

The only reason they would need your height & weight is if they need to give a prescription to you for something.

I was a dental assistant for many years.



The orthodontist doesn't measure height and weight what they do is putting on your braces. I have braces so trust me i know they don't check heigt and weight.



I went to the orthodontist for 3 years and they never checked. They may have asked on my new patient form but never checked.



haha i have never heard anyone ask that question to me ever!!
ANSWER IS NO
why does it matter anyways?
