What to Expect
The Treatment Process
Orthodontic Assessment
X-rays and clinical examination to map out your child's treatment plan, including timing and bracket type.
Bracket Placement
Brackets are bonded to the teeth and connected with an archwire. This is painless and takes about 1–2 hours.
Regular Adjustments
Monthly visits to tighten the wire and monitor progress. Each adjustment brings teeth closer to alignment.
Removal & Retainer
After 12–24 months, braces are removed and a retainer is fitted to hold the new position.
