Orthodontic Screenings

The Usual Track

Many youngsters benefit from orthodontics after the baby teeth have fallen out and the permanent teeth have moved into place. This classic case may start in the early teen years, leaving a nicely aligned and highly functional set of teeth as your teen enters adulthood.

The length of time spent wired-up can vary, but average treatment time often falls around two years. Orthodontic treatment can solve almost every possible bite issue, but success relies on good patient compliance.

Wearing elastic bands consistently, keeping follow-up appointments for adjustments, and practicing outstanding home care can lead to a positive outcome.

This commitment involves frequent preventive visits with your hygienist as well, a strategy that helps avoid permanent staining from weakened enamel and cavities around brackets.
