# Orthodontics during pregnancy Pregnancy & orthodontics Understand the care conversation Considering treatment, or already wearing braces or aligners? Start with the question you have today: a new plan, a difficult daily routine, a proposed image or a conversation between your clinicians. General information and fictional examples support understanding. Your own clinicians determine personal care. From SMILE\-FX® in Miramar, Florida Board\-certified orthodontists see every SMILE\-FX® patient, including at follow\-up visits. The Miramar practice offers full\-service orthodontics with a digitally driven clear\-aligner focus. [Request an in-person consultation](https://www.smile-fx.com/lp/free-consult/?utm_source=orthodontics-during-pregnancy&utm_medium=microsite&utm_campaign=smile-fx-guides) For a new orthodontic conversation at SMILE\-FX® in Miramar. The team confirms the appointment and individual arrangements after your request. Choose the question you have today ## Four lessons, with a clear place to start [Starting treatment or reviewing an existing plan](/starting-or-continuing-a-plan) See two completed examples: a new consultation and a pregnancy update during an aligner course. [Gums, nausea and the daily routine](/gums-and-daily-routine) Learn the general oral\-care answer, then work through an ordinary morning\-routine example. [A general imaging answer and your proposed examination](/imaging-during-pregnancy) Understand general radiograph guidance and read a proposed\-record example without choosing an examination. [Make the shared\-care conversation understandable](/coordinating-your-care) Read one finished account and see how to distinguish known facts, responsibilities and pending decisions. ## Dental care and an orthodontic plan are different questions ADA describes preventive, diagnostic and restorative dental care as safe during pregnancy. Source: [ADA: dental care during pregnancy](https://www.ada.org/resources/ada-library/oral-health-topics/pregnancy) ## Choose your starting point If you are considering orthodontics, the first lesson shows how to read a new proposal. If you already have treatment directions, the same lesson explains how a pregnancy update and a practical difficulty fit a review of that existing plan. You can go straight to the lesson you need. The daily\-routine lesson supplies practical general dental information; the imaging lesson separates a general answer from the purpose of a particular examination. The coordination lesson then puts the pieces into one completed account. - [Considering care: understand a new proposal](/starting-or-continuing-a-plan#new-proposal) - [Already in care: understand a current\-plan review](/starting-or-continuing-a-plan#existing-plan) ## Keep responsibility in view An orthodontic goal, a dental concern and a pregnancy update can belong in the same conversation without becoming the same task. A useful explanation tells you which question has been answered, who is responsible for the next decision and how the answer connects with your existing directions. At SMILE\-FX®, progress review and provider support are part of the wider care model. They give you ways to communicate with the orthodontic team alongside your dental and pregnancy care. - [Read the practice's full doctor\-led care explanation](/about-this-guide#doctor-led-care) - [See a completed care\-coordination example](/coordinating-your-care) ## Keep exploring - [Starting treatment or reviewing an existing plan](/starting-or-continuing-a-plan) - [Gums, nausea and daily care](/gums-and-daily-routine) - [Understanding an imaging proposal](/imaging-during-pregnancy) - [Connecting information across your care teams](/coordinating-your-care) [Visit details](/visit) ## Your individual next step Discuss your orthodontic goal in person [Request an in-person consultation](https://www.smile-fx.com/lp/free-consult/?utm_source=orthodontics-during-pregnancy&utm_medium=microsite&utm_campaign=smile-fx-guides) For a new orthodontic conversation at SMILE\-FX® in Miramar.
