Straightening Your
The Braces Procedure
Getting your braces put on is the first step in showing the world your true smile. We totally get it if you’re feeling a little nervous about the braces procedure but it’s painless, and we’ll let you know what to expect throughout your entire treatment.
Step 1:
Your Consultation:
The braces procedure starts with a consultation. You’ll sit down with the friendly and attentive Dr. Jeffrey Kwong (aka Dr. Jeff). He’ll examine your mouth, take photos and x-rays if necessary, and formulate a diagnosis. You’ll chat about your treatment goals and discuss your questions and concerns. Dr. Jeff will present you with the treatment options that will work best for you.
Step 2:
Getting Your Braces Put On:
Woohoo! It’s time to start straightening your teeth. Dr. Jeff will adhere the brackets to your teeth and fit the archwire and colors (yes, we have colors!). The process usually lasts for about an hour. There are no needles involved, and it doesn’t hurt a bit!
Step 3:
Adjustments:
You’ll regularly visit our office to have your braces adjusted. We’ll make sure everything is going as planned and answer any questions you may have. These appointments usually only take 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 4:
Removal:
This is an exciting day, and you’ll get to see how your treatment has paid off. Dr. Jeff will remove your braces (this process is also painless), and we’ll unveil those gorgeous straight teeth.
Step 5:
Post-Care:
There’s one last step in the braces procedure. In order to keep your teeth in their new, straight positions, you’ll need to wear an orthodontic retainer. We’ll make it custom just for you and give you the lowdown on how to use it.
