There are likely to be four possible outcomes, each of which will be explained to you in plain and simple language by the orthodontist. These include:
- You are not yet ready for treatment, in which case you may need to see the orthodontist again when you are older.
- Your dental health is not good enough. This may be due to poor toothbrushing or decayed teeth. Your dentist may send you to the orthodontist again when things have improved.
- You do not need treatment because the position of your teeth is perfectly acceptable, or expected to be.
- You are ready for treatment and need to decide whether to go ahead.
