Once a patient decides to get braces, he or she works closely with a dentist on developing a custom-tailored, individual treatment plan, which usually involves the following steps:
Diagnosis and Planning – Creation of a detailed treatment plan for a custom-made retainer via software support based on patient-specific photos and dental imprints
Brace / Retainer Delivery – A roughly hour-long appointment to place and adjust the finished retainer and, in cases of permanent braces, to carefully attach them to the patient’s teeth
Check-In Visits – Recommended every 6 to 8 weeks for removable retainers and every 4 to 6 weeks for permanent braces
Retention – To preserve the positive end result of the brace treatment, patients receive so-called “retention splints” for longer-term use
The exact timing of treatment start depends directly on the level of severity of a patient’s dental misalignment and has to happen sooner in cases where not just a patient’s teeth but also his or her jaws are misaligned. Whether a dentist prescribes a removable retainer or permanent braces to a patient depends entirely on the distance that the patient’s teeth need to move – in general, the longer the distance, the more likely permanent braces will be necessary.
Treatment duration also heavily depends on the orthodontic measures taken and can range between a few months for slight dental mis-alignments up to 3 full years for very obvious and visible mis-alignments of the teeth and jaws.
