The initial consultation involves a complete examination of the teeth and jaws and is followed by X rays, photographs, and impressions. This pre-treatment recording allows the orthodontist to make a proper assessment and create a treatment plan for solving your problem.

Setting up appliances is painless. Some patients require removable appliances that simply fit onto the teeth. For those patients who require fixed appliances, 2-3 visits will be required to set up the braces. Apart from your orthodontist they can be set up by one of our team orthodontist as well.

Visits to the orthodontist are usually 4-6 weeks in order for the appliance to be adjusted and checked. You should also continue to have regular check-ups with your general dental practitioner (every 3  months).

The duration of orthodontic therapy varies depending on the case and type of denture. The average treatment time is usually 14-18 months. Treatment is usually completed earlier with those patients who look after their appliance regularly and come to the control examinations regularly.

All the patients wear retention appliances/retainers at the end of the treatment to preserve the results obtained by active treatment.

Jaw or orthognathic surgery involves the collaboration of an orthodontist and a maxillofacial surgeon. In some cases, the jaw bones are positioned in a way that makes it difficult or impossible to obtain good results exclusively with orthodontic treatment - then jaw surgery is necessary

Orthodontics is equally recommended both for adults and children. Because the biological process of moving the teeth is the same with children and adults, you are never too old to do what is best for you. About 30% of our patients are adults and their number is increasing.
