Many people believe they need a referral from their dentist to see an orthodontist, but at Strouse Orthodontics, and most orthodontic offices, no referral is needed! You can schedule a free consultation with us directly, bypassing the need for a referral from a dentist. Often, dentists are not specifically looking for orthodontic issues during routine exams, and are not trained to do so, which means potential problems could go unnoticed. In some situations, dentists will even suggest orthodontic treatment to do themselves, and only work to straighten the front teeth, leaving patients with bite issues that lead to additional dental work over the years.
Whether you are an adult or thinking about your child, seeing an orthodontist can help identify and treat these issues early, potentially preventing future dental problems. With children, often times parents are the first to notice that something may not be right with their child's teeth. Straight, healthy teeth function better, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene and reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
