If you are thinking about improving your smile, one of the most common questions is whether you need a referral from your dentist to see an orthodontist. The good news is that you do not need a referral to start your orthodontic journey at The Ortho Practice.
No Referral Required
You can book a consultation with us directly at any time. There is no need to wait for a referral from your general dentist. We welcome new patients who are ready to explore options such as braces or Invisalign, whether they come to us independently or are referred by another provider.
This makes it easier to take the first step, especially if you have concerns about your teeth or your child’s development and want answers without delay.
Why We Still Communicate with Your Dentist
While you do not need a referral, your general dentist still plays an important role in your overall oral health. They are responsible for maintaining the health of your teeth, gums and supporting tissues, while we focus on alignment, bite, and jaw development.
As part of our professional care, we always write back to your dentist after your consultation. This ensures they are fully informed and that both your dental and orthodontic care are coordinated.
A Collaborative Approach to Care
By keeping your dentist in the loop, we create a supportive environment where everyone involved in your care works together. This approach helps ensure that your teeth are healthy and ready for treatment and that nothing is overlooked during your smile journey.
