The Importance of Orthodontics
1 in 3 orthodontic patients is over 18 years old.
What to Expect During Braces Treatment
To design a personalized treatment plan, your orthodontist will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your teeth and jaws using X-rays and impressions. Once your treatment plan is established, it’s time for the braces application process. This process involves attaching brackets to your teeth and connecting them with wires, which will gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Throughout your treatment, you’ll attend regular appointments for adjustments and check-ups to ensure your braces are effectively moving your teeth. Once your teeth have shifted into place, braces are removed, and you may be fitted for a retainer to maintain your new smile.
