When you see your dentist, they check up on the health of your teeth. When you see an orthodontist, it’s usually because there are issues with your jaw spacing, tooth alignment, and teeth crowding.
Some of these include:
- bad bite
- visible tooth crowding
- tooth grinding
- difficulty chewing, biting or speaking
- asymmetry
It’s recommended that your child see an orthodontist before they turn seven. Learn more about the best time to see an orthodontist.
