If I have malocclusion can I get braces?

Question

The dentist told me I only need braces cosmetically, but I think I have malocclusion so if I did, would I NNEED braces?

Answer 1

I've got a second degree malocclusion and I need braces. So yes, you would need braces :]

Answer 2

Dentists can correct a malocclusion using braces, but they are also used simply for cosmetic reasons. Your orthodonist will be able to tell you if you have a malocclusion. Either way, you can get braces. If you have a malocclusion do you NEED braces? It depends on what's wrong with your bite. Perhaps you have an anterior open bite, meaning your anterior teeth don't touch. You may function better if such a problem were fixed, but that doesn't mean it has to be. All this is something you need to talk to a real orthodonist about. Your general dentist is not a bite specialist!!!
