Braces and aligners are effective methods for correcting a variety of orthodontic issues, such as misaligned teeth, overcrowding, overbites, and underbites.
1. Assessment
The dentist assesses the patient's oral health and alignment issues using X-rays, photos, and impressions.
2. Treatment Plan
A customized plan is created, specifying braces or aligners and estimated treatment duration.
3. Braces Installation or Aligner Fitting
Braces: Brackets are attached to teeth, applying gradual pressure with wires and elastics.
Aligners: Patients receive clear, custom-made aligners, wearing each set for about two weeks.
4. Adjustments
Regular follow-up appointments for braces adjustments or new aligner sets for treatment progress.
5. Oral Hygiene
Patients learn proper oral care with braces or aligners, including specialized cleaning.
6. Progress Monitoring
Dental professionals track tooth movement and adjust the plan as needed.
7. Completion and Retention
When alignment is achieved, braces/aligners are removed, and a retainer may be provided for retention.
