- Placement of the appliances. Once the treatment plan has been approved, the brackets or aligners are placed, depending on the type of treatment chosen.
- Monitoring and adjustments. During treatment, the patient will need to attend regular appointments to make adjustments and monitor progress. This is crucial to ensure that the teeth are moving properly and that the treatment is progressing as planned.
- Retention. Once treatment is complete, fixed and removable night retainers are used to keep the teeth in their new position and prevent them from shifting again.
