How Braces Work
From your first consultation to your final reveal, here's what to expect on your braces journey.
Clinical Examination
A specialist orthodontist examines your teeth, bite and jaw. We take diagnostic records including X-rays, photographs and 3D scans.
Custom Treatment Plan
Using your diagnostic records, we design a plan to give you the ideal smile and take time to fully explain this to you.
Brackets & Wires Fitted
Small brackets are bonded to each tooth, connected by a flexible archwire. The wire applies gentle, continuous pressure to guide teeth into position.
Regular Adjustments
Every 6-8 weeks, we adjust or replace the archwire. Each new wire continues moving your teeth according to the treatment plan.
Retainers Fitted
Once your teeth are perfectly aligned, we remove the braces and fit retainers to hold them in place permanently.
