What is orthodontic treatment

Orthodontic treatment is a process of straightening or moving teeth to improve the appearance of the teeth and how they function. The steps involved in orthodontic treatment can vary depending on the specific needs and goals of the patient, but generally, the process follows these steps:

  1. Consultation: The first step in orthodontic treatment is to schedule a consultation with an orthodontist. During the consultation, the orthodontist will examine your teeth, mouth, and jaw to determine the best course of treatment.

  2. Treatment planning: Once the orthodontist has evaluated your teeth and mouth, they will develop a treatment plan that outlines the steps involved in your orthodontic treatment. This may include taking X-rays, impressions of your teeth, and photographs of your face and teeth.

  3. Placing the orthodontic appliance: After the treatment plan has been developed, the orthodontist will place an orthodontic appliance, such as braces or a removable aligner, to begin moving your teeth into their proper positions.

  4. Regular adjustments: During treatment, you will need to visit the orthodontist regularly for adjustments to your orthodontic appliance. These adjustments help to ensure that your teeth are moving as planned and help to keep the treatment process on track.

  5. Finishing treatment: Once your teeth have been moved into their proper positions and your bite has been corrected, the orthodontist will remove your orthodontic appliance and may recommend the use of a retainer to help maintain the position of your teeth.

Overall, the process of orthodontic treatment can take anywhere from a few months to a few years, depending on the severity of the misalignment and the specific treatment plan.
