Starting orthodontic treatment is exciting, and knowing what to expect helps you feel prepared.
- Initial Consultation: Your orthodontist will examine your teeth, take scans, and discuss your treatment goals.
- Treatment Planning: Digital models are used to customize your treatment plan.
- Placement Day: Braces are fixed or the first set of aligners is provided.
- Regular Visits: You’ll return every few weeks for adjustments or progress checks.
- Mild Discomfort: You may experience slight pressure as teeth begin moving — this is normal and temporary.
- Gradual Changes: Over time, your bite improves, teeth straighten, and your smile becomes more confident.
Orthodontic treatment is a journey, and with consistent care and patience, the results are truly rewarding.
