Treatment Process
1. Orthodontic Consultation
- Your teeth, jaw structure, and bite are carefully evaluated. Digital records and X-rays are taken to create your personalised treatment plan.
2. Treatment Planning
- The most suitable orthodontic solution is selected based on your needs. Options may include traditional braces, ceramic braces, or clear aligners.
3. Active Treatment
- Your chosen orthodontic system is fitted, and controlled forces are used to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled throughout the treatment.
4. Retention Phase
- Once your teeth have reached their desired position, a retention plan is provided to help maintain your new smile for years to come.
