STEPS OF ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT

STEP 1

STRAIGHTEN TEETH

Our beginning step with all orthodontic treatment is to move your teeth into their ideal position, one that will allow a great smile as well as a healthy position within your jawbone. With either braces or Invisalign, from Day 1 you will notice your teeth shift into their new position.

STEP 2

FIX YOUR BITE

Our top and bottom jaws fit together like puzzle pieces. Your jaws may not match up perfectly even after all the teeth are straight. During this step, we use things such as rubber bands or springs to help your teeth fit perfectly together.

STEP 3

DETAIL AND PERFECT

Once the first two steps are completed, we take a close look at your teeth and smile to ensure that we are giving you an A+ result. At this stage, we value your input in making sure that you are completely satisfied before we finish treatment.

STEP 4

RETENTION

At the end of any form of orthodontic treatment, you will be given a retainer to “retain” the results we’ve achieved. This is arguably the most important step of all. While retention is most critical in the first year after you’ve finished treatment, your teeth can continue to move throughout your life. This is why we recommend wearing your retainer “nighttime for a lifetime”!
