How to Maintain Healthy Teeth - How to determine if braces are needed

So have you ever wondered on if you need braces and how to determine if you need braces? Well my name is Michelle and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz and I'm here to tell you on how you can determine if you need braces. Its pretty much easy, what you really would need to do is basically look in the mirror, if you see a lot of crowding as far as your teeth kind of overlapping each other or they're rotated and not aligned properly in with the alignment of your natural teeth, then those are all signs that you do need braces. But basically you would definitely need to go see your general dentist or your orthodontist in your area and basically an orthodontist is a dentist that specializes in braces and treating cases of braces so if you're kind of just on the unsure part if you really need them or if you don't, then definitely go visit an orthodontist, they will be able to determine if you need braces. You might not even need braces, the metal braces, you might be able to get away with wearing what is called Invisalign trays which are clear mouth trays that help align your teeth and straighten your teeth without wearing metal in your mouth. So definitely visit your orthodontist or your general dentist so therefore he would be able to tell you if you need braces or not. Once again my name is Michelle and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz and I just explained to you on how to determine if you need braces.
