What steps are followed in orthodontic treatment?

Firstly, we create a record, including medical history, plaster models, clinical examination, and x-rays. The treatment plan is then tailored to each patient's needs. Appliances are placed during the active phase and adjusted periodically to ensure proper teeth movement. In the retention phase, a retainer is used to maintain the new tooth positions.

Various factors like thumb sucking, small jaw, bad habits, and injuries can lead to teeth misalignment.

Children should visit an orthodontist around age 7 to assess their teeth and initiate preventive phase I treatment. After a rest period, phase II treatment can begin around ages 12-13 for full braces if needed.
