What records should a clinic take initially?

23 March Mon, 2026

If you’re asking what records should a clinic take initially, you’re focusing on the foundation of predictable orthodontics. Records are not bureaucracy; they are how an orthodontist plans safe tooth movement and a stable bite. The exact set depends on complexity, but a professional clinic should explain the purpose of each record.

At MilimDental, Dr. Begüm Ulaşan (orthodontist / orthodontic specialist) typically uses clinical examination plus digital records such as photos and a 3D scan to capture tooth positions precisely. Imaging (such as X-rays) may be recommended when evaluating root position, impacted teeth, bone support, or jaw relationships—especially in crossbite, deep bite, jaw narrowing, or complex cases.

Good records enable: accurate staging (aligners), precise bracket planning (braces), bite correction strategy, and retention planning. They also protect patient safety by identifying hidden issues before movement begins. A clinic that skips records or cannot explain why they’re needed is taking unnecessary risk. High-quality orthodontics begins with the right records and a clear treatment roadmap built from those findings.
