What Happens at Your Initial Orthodontist Appointment The meat of the first visit is a comprehensive exam of your teeth, jaws and bite. The orthodontist performs a visual examination of your mouth to view how well your teeth align, and how your jaws work together. They’ll check to see if your teeth are misaligned, crowded, gapped, if there is an issue in your bite (overbite, underbite) or if your jaw fits the profile of an irregular bite.
