How Braces & Orthodontics Help

Orthodontic treatments gradually move teeth into their ideal position, improving bite, function, and aesthetics.
Understanding the process helps you feel informed, confident, and comfortable throughout your orthodontic journey.
Your Step-by-Step Orthodontic Journey

1
Step 1: Comprehensive Examination
We assess teeth, gums, bite, and jaw alignment to identify orthodontic issues. We also discuss your goals, lifestyle, and any concerns about treatment.
2
Step 2: Digital Scans & X-Rays
Detailed digital imaging captures the structure of your teeth and jaw. These scans allow precise planning and accurate predictions for your treatment.
3
Step 3: Choosing Your Orthodontic Option
We guide you through braces types, clear aligners, or other appliances. We explain how each works, expected results, and treatment duration.
4
Step 4: Treatment Planning
A customised plan is created to move your teeth safely and efficiently. We discuss the schedule, adjustments, and expected outcomes.
5
Step 5: Appliance Placement
Braces or aligners are fitted carefully for comfort and effectiveness. We provide instructions on care, cleaning, and how to adjust.
6
Step 6: Regular Adjustments & Monitoring
We schedule follow-ups to check progress and make minor adjustments. This ensures your teeth move according to plan and remain healthy.
7
Step 7: Retention & Long-Term Care
Once teeth are in the correct position, retainers help maintain results. We provide guidance on long-term maintenance and oral hygiene.
We’re all about your comfort
