orthodontic diagnosis

Orthodontic diagnosis involves evaluating the teeth, jaws, and facial structure to identify issues like crooked teeth, bites that don’t align properly, or jaw misalignments. This process includes clinical examinations, taking photographs, X-rays, and dental impressions to assess the position and growth patterns. The goal is to understand the underlying causes of dental problems to develop an effective treatment plan. A precise diagnosis helps determine the best approach to improve function, appearance, and oral health, ensuring the patient’s teeth and jaws work together properly and last a lifetime.
