Many people come in for crowded teeth, a misaligned bite, or the concern of whether they need braces: the first orthodontics visit addresses exactly that. It is the initial appointment where the position of the teeth and jaws is reviewed and, if applicable, a treatment plan is proposed.
What does it include? Usually an examination of the mouth, recording of the bite, and, when needed, ordering studies or X-rays to design the treatment.
Who performs it? It is attended by a dentist with orthodontic training. The cost depends on the city and the office; it's best to schedule this assessment to learn about your specific options.

Before you book
- Every licensed doctor in Mexico holds a cédula profesional, a national licence number. It appears on our doctor profiles where we have it, and you can verify it yourself against the federal registry.
- Ask exactly what a quoted price covers. Consultation, imaging, anaesthesia, materials and follow-up visits are often quoted separately.
- Ask who handles follow-up once you are home, and what happens if something needs correcting. For treatment that spans several visits, agree the schedule before you travel.
El Doctor is a directory. We do not provide medical care, take bookings, or receive payment from the providers listed.
