Orthodontic treatment is a step
by step system. While every orthodontic case is different to the next, the
journey patients take is quite similar. Here Yonsei Uline Dental Clinic will
walk you through the three phases of orthodontic treatment so you know what to
expect at each stage.
Phase 1 - Pre-Braces
There is some preparation
you and your orthodontist will have to do before you’re ready for braces.
First Consultation
At your first consultation,
we’ll review the position of all your teeth and decide what orthodontic options
are available to you. We’ll also check on the health of your teeth and gums.
X-Rays
Next, we’ll send you for
x-rays which are an important clinical evaluation tool for orthodontists.
Orthodontic x-rays allow us to view the roots of your teeth and jawbones and
check for any underlying oral health problems. If there is a sign of gum
disease, we need to treat it before braces are applied. If the x-ray reveals
any trapped teeth in the jaw or jaw joint problems, you may need a more complex
3-D x-ray, such as a cone beam scan.
Second Consultation
During this visit we’ll take
diagnosis photos (before photos) and intra-oral scans of your teeth.
Information gained from your consultations and x-rays are used to prepare a
detailed treatment plan.
Presentation of Your Treatment Plan
Once the plan is ready we
ask you (and your family members) to return to the clinic to discuss the plan.
Your treatment plan includes all your options and then it’s up to you/your
parents to decide on proceeding with the treatment. The types of treatment
include ceramic, metal, standard, or lingual braces on both arches or just one
and an option of clear aligners when indicated. Depending on the case, some
patients have a few options to choose from, while other patients are only
suitable for metal braces. During the appointment, we’ll explain the journey
through the different stages of treatment and answer all your questions.
Visit Your Dentist
Not everyone undertaking
orthodontic treatment has overcrowding issues. But for those patients who need
teeth extracted, they will make an appointment with their regular dentist for
the extractions. Patients need to wait at least two weeks after the extractions
before they can have their braces applied.
All patients should visit
their dentist in the lead up to their braces being applied for a scale and
clean.
