What department should I visit for orthodontic treatment?
Disease description:
My teeth are not very straight, and they look a bit unattractive. I would like to get orthodontic treatment. May I ask, which department should I visit for teeth alignment correction?

The department to visit for orthodontic treatment depends on the type of hospital. In general hospitals, patients can usually make an appointment directly with the Department of Stomatology (Dentistry), and inform the doctor of the need for teeth correction. The doctor will then refer the patient to a specialist in orthodontics based on the specific situation. In specialized dental hospitals, where medical disciplines are more细分, it is recommended to directly schedule an appointment with the Department of Orthodontics.
If a patient also has jaw-related issues, consideration may be given to attending a combined orthodontic and orthognathic treatment clinic. Choosing the correct department ensures patients receive professional diagnosis and treatment, thereby achieving optimal orthodontic results. If in doubt, it is advisable to seek timely medical consultation for diagnosis and treatment by a qualified physician.
