Start with an assessment

Every orthodontic plan begins with an examination of how your teeth meet, how much movement is needed and whether your gums are healthy enough to begin.

That assessment determines which appliance options are realistic for you and roughly how long treatment will take.

Living with braces

Cleaning takes more time and care, and some foods are best avoided. Your clinician will show you the technique that suits your appliance.

Regular adjustment appointments keep treatment on track, so plan for them from the beginning.

After treatment

Teeth can drift after braces are removed, which is why retention is part of the plan rather than an afterthought. Ask what retention will involve before you start.

This article is general information, not a diagnosis. If you have symptoms, book an examination so a dentist can assess you properly.
