Treatment Stages
- Diagnostics and planning: photo protocol, digital scans or impressions, X-rays and bite analysis
- Braces placement: a painless procedure, usually completed in a single visit
- Active treatment phase: regular orthodontic visits for adjustments and monitoring tooth movement
- Final stage and retention: after removal, the result is maintained with retainers
During the first few days, you may feel pressure or mild discomfort—this is a normal response as the teeth begin to move. Your doctor will provide guidance on diet and oral hygiene to make the adjustment period as comfortable as possible.
