What is the process of orthodontic treatment?
1. Preliminary diagnosis: In the dental clinic or orthodontic specialist examination, the dentist will first make a preliminary intraoral diagnosis model for you, take X-rays or dental CT and other information, and establish a case file;
2. Plan design: A qualified and experienced orthodontist will help you design and determine an orthodontic plan. It should be added that few hospitals now have professional orthodontists, and they usually send tooth models to orthodontists. For orthodontic equipment manufacturers, such as Invisalign, Midea and other brand manufacturers, will hire a large number of orthodontists to design solutions for patients;
3. Implementation stage: This stage includes the preparatory work before correction, such as the treatment of caries, periodontal cleaning treatment, tooth extraction, etc., and then the initial installation of the appliance. At this time, the patient must listen carefully to the relevant information from the dentist. Precaution.
4. Follow-up consultation: every 4-6 weeks. If you have metal-fixed aligners, your dentist will usually force or adjust the aligners based on your orthodontic situation to keep your orthodontic plan going smoothly.
5. The correction is over, and the maintenance phase is entered.
