A High-Value Conversation About Your Smile Alignment
Before you spend months (or thousands of dollars) moving teeth, an orthodontic evaluation answers the key question honestly: what would actually change, and which method would deliver it? For children around age seven and adults at any age, this exam becomes the clean, pressure-free starting point.
The exam leads naturally into ClearCorrect therapy when aligners fit your case — and into honest specialist referral when braces or complex orthodontics would genuinely serve you better. At Tropical Smiles Dental, the path is decided by anatomy, not sales goals.
- Evaluation of alignment, bite relationship, and jaw function
- Honest guidance on timing — for children and adults alike
- Clear discussion of aligners vs. braces vs. monitoring
- Digital records when they add clinical value
