To ensure that the teeth remain in position and does not drift back to an earlier position, the orthodontist will also construct a retainer for patients to help them keep their teeth in the new position and also offer after treatment support and follow-up treatment services needed by patients to maintain their desired anatomical and aesthetically pleasing dental result.
The length of comprehensive Orthodontic Treatment at The Dental Specialty Center typically depends on the oral health of the patient and the severity of the problem to be corrected. In some severe cases, it may take between 18 – 24 months of treatment while in other cases, especially for minor crowding of the teeth, treatment may take as little as 9 – 18 months.
Comprehensive Orthodontic Examination
For dental braces to be installed, the orthodontist will begin the process with a complete dental examination. Patients with tooth decay may present more difficult problems for orthodontists. The diagnostic process entails special X-ray of the head, known as a cephalometric x-ray, and this is performed at our dental office. The x-ray is then processed by the latest computer technology and gives our orthodontist the needed information about the direction of bone growth, the relation of the upper jaw to the lower jaw, relationship between the upper and lower teeth and also other information such as wisdom teeth, a missing tooth or extra tooth. This information is very important as they aid the process of assisting patients with a better smile quality.
