Orthodontic Examination & Assessment | Personalized Treatment Planning
What Is an Orthodontic Examination?
A comprehensive orthodontic examination is the first step toward achieving a healthy, aligned, and aesthetically pleasing smile. During this assessment, an orthodontist evaluates teeth, jaws, bite, and facial structure to identify misalignments, malocclusions, and other dental irregularities.
At Skin House, our orthodontic specialists provide thorough, precise, and personalized assessments to plan effective treatments for children, teens, and adults.
