The first step of orthodontics: initial diagnosis

Go to orthodontics first. Parents and patients are required to be present. Check whether children need orthodontic treatment, point out the existing problems, preliminarily estimate the general plan of treatment, and inform orthodontic patients of the general treatment method, time, cost and matters needing attention. If there is an intention to correct, the doctor will arrange for the patient to take photos, take X-rays and print dental casts. Doctors measure, analyze and design these photos, X-rays and dental models, and then decide the treatment plan according to the analysis results of these materials.

The second step of orthodontics: orthodontics

First visit: Parents and patients are required to be present to discuss the existing problems and treatment plans in detail. Including: whether orthodontic treatment can be carried out; Need to pull out teeth, pull out those teeth; What materials are used; Efficacy, course of treatment and cost.

Second visit: tooth extraction (children who need tooth extraction should have their teeth extracted first, and then recover for a period of time).

The third visit: installing electrical appliances.

The third step of orthodontics: keeping

When the dentition deformity is corrected and the doctor thinks it meets the requirements from a professional point of view, the original appliance will be taken out, and then the patient needs to wear the retainer to prevent the rebound and recurrence and consolidate the orthodontic results. Generally, the retainer needs to be worn for about one year, during which it is visited once every three months. Because everyone's deformity is different, the treatment method is different, and the time and cost required are different. Correction is a complicated process, which takes a long time and needs the understanding and cooperation of orthodontists to ensure the ideal effect. Therefore, patience is necessary, and you must consult a doctor who has undergone orthodontic training. Don't accept unprofessional treatment for convenience.
