Both you and I are partners in the success of your treatment.
We will succeed by following these 2 words: MOWED + TANZIF
1. MOWED
Go to your appointments on time. A delay in your appontment prolongs treatment. But if you really have to cancel, be kind enough to call the clinic 2 days before the appointment to cancel so we can give your slot to another patient.
2. TANZIF
Make sure that your teeth and gums are always clean and healthy. Brush your teeth after every meal, use your interdental brush. Again, we will not be able to move teeth when the gums are inflamed, thus causing prolonged treatment time.
Call us for any questions at 2444-111, Saturdays thru Thursdays from 9 am to 12 noon, then 4pm to 10 pm.
We will gladly serve you and your needs.
The steps to Orthodontic treatment are:
1. Taking a panoramic and / or cephalometric x- ray (asha-a)
PANORAMIC X-RAY
Shows us the teeth that are present within the mouth, some of which are erupted, still developing or impacted.
CEPHALOMETRIC X-RAY
Shows us the skeletal development and relationship of the maxilla and mandible
2. Making of Dental Casts (magas)
3. Placement of separators (matat)
The separators are placed for 3 days.
An appointment is made after 3 days to finally put brackets and bands
