Reply:Ask your dentist, its not just gaps that need braces, its jaw placement. So ask your dentist
Reply:only a complete dental examination with full mouth X-rays can determine the overall picture of the alignment of your teeth and the structures of your mouth.





generally, a visit to the orthodontist checks the information provided by the dentist who refers you and they make impressions of your mouth in order to get a 3-D rendering of the structures in your mouth, both teeth and maxillofacial structures.





Sometimes, if all that is needed is a minor alignment, that can be accomplished with partial braces and a type of retainer.





Don't worry, braces aren't nearly as bad as they were when I had them! And I had a mouthful of metal for YEARS.





They are much less noticeable, they are more skilled in the work and the outcome is so wonderful!

Reply:If your dentist thinks you need braces they will tell you and refer you to an orthodontist. That's what mine did. I don't think I even asked. They just told me I needed them.
