Diagnosis and Evaluation
The journey toward a successful outcome begins with a meticulously structured consultation. Because oral health and bone symmetry are unique to each individual, a standard visual check is never sufficient. When you visit a specialist at Liv Hospital, the process starts with a detailed medical and dental history where the clinician asks about your developmental growth, previous trauma, and physical goals. The goal of this evaluation is to provide objective evidence of structural failure or mechanical stress and to determine if a specialized intervention is the most appropriate next step for your physical vitality.
The first line of preparation for treatment involves a non contact assessment of the dental landscape.
To see beneath the surface of the gums and assess the jaw bone, high tech imaging is required.
Success in Orthodontics depends on creating a bite that is as functional as it is beautiful.
Evaluating the health of the gums is a part of the diagnostic roadmap for orthodontic movement.
Specialists look for these indicators of tissue integrity to ensure the bone can handle the shift.
To the everyday people, seeing the facial symmetry is the first step toward understanding the treatment goals.
In some clinical cases, the concern involves moving teeth that already have crowns or fillings.
The preparation phase includes a comprehensive check for signs of past chemical failures.
The end goal of the diagnostic phase is to reach a definitive management plan. Once all tests are completed—physical exam, mapping, and labs—your specialist at Liv Hospital will sit down with you to review the findings. If the evidence shows that your condition requires a surgical or restorative correction, we will discuss the options in detail. We encourage you to call the hospital to finalize your journey toward a more radiant and confident self through professional dentistry.

A panoramic X ray gives a broad view of the entire mouth. It shows all the teeth, including those developing under the gums, the roots, the jawbones, and the sinuses. It is essential for checking for missing teeth, extra teeth, or root health issues.
A digital impression is a 3D scan of your teeth taken with a wand camera. It replaces the gooey, uncomfortable trays used in the past. It is more accurate, faster, and allows for immediate digital planning of your treatment.
Orthodontics aligns the teeth and bite, which can reduce the strain on the jaw joints. While it often improves TMJ symptoms, it is not a guaranteed cure for joint noises, especially if the internal cartilage is damaged. A thorough TMJ exam helps predict the outcome.
Yes. The diagnostic records, particularly the analysis of the bone size and tooth size, tell the orthodontist if there is enough room to fit all the teeth. If the crowding is severe or the lips are too protrusive, extractions might be recommended for stability and aesthetics.
The orthodontist looks at the cervical vertebrae (neck bones) on the side X ray to determine your skeletal age. The shape of these bones changes as you grow, helping the doctor predict how much growth you have left to utilize for treatment.
