Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see an orthodontist without a dentist referral?
Yes. You can contact an orthodontist directly without first getting a referral from your general dentist. Many patients begin with a consultation because they notice crowding, spacing, bite problems, shifting teeth, or concerns about their child’s smile development. At West Windsor Orthodontics, patients can start with a specialist-led evaluation to understand whether treatment is needed and which options may be appropriate.
What is the difference between an orthodontist and a general dentist?
General dentists provide comprehensive oral health care, while orthodontists receive additional specialty training focused on tooth movement, bite correction, jaw development, and orthodontic appliances. An orthodontist can evaluate how the teeth and jaws fit together and determine whether braces, aligners, expanders, or other orthodontic treatment may be appropriate.
Why choose an orthodontist for braces?
For braces, it is usually best to see an orthodontist because orthodontists receive specialty training in moving teeth and correcting bite problems. While some general dentists offer limited orthodontic services, an orthodontist focuses on this type of care every day. Patients considering metal braces can benefit from a treatment plan that accounts for tooth movement, jaw relationships, facial balance, and long-term retention.
What is the best age for a child to see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation no later than age 7. At this age, a child usually has a mix of baby teeth and permanent teeth, which helps the orthodontist spot crowding, bite problems, jaw growth concerns, or eruption issues early. Some children need early treatment, while others simply need monitoring until the right time.
How do I know if I need an orthodontist?
You may need an orthodontist if you have crowded teeth, gaps, crooked teeth, an overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, jaw shifting, or teeth that no longer fit together comfortably. Children may need an evaluation if permanent teeth are coming in at unusual angles, baby teeth were lost early or late, or the bite looks uneven. A complimentary consultation can help determine whether braces, Invisalign, early treatment, or monitoring makes sense.
What orthodontic treatments are available at West Windsor Orthodontics?
West Windsor Orthodontics offers orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults, including Invisalign®, Invisalign® Teen, metal braces, early treatment, and other individualized orthodontic options. The practice also provides smile assessments, Dental Pain Eraser support, and retainer replacement.
