5. Debanding

Debanding

The debanding appointment is the first time that you’ll get to see your brand new smile as we take your braces or attachments off to reveal your straight teeth. During this appointment, our hygienists will gently remove your braces and give your teeth a good clean.

You’ll also have a fixed bonded retainer attached to the back of your teeth to ensure your teeth don’t move and stay in their new straight positions.

6. Retainers

Retainers

At Medland Orthodontics, our commitment to you is straight teeth for life, which is why we put such a focus on post-treatment care and retention.

During your deband appointment, you will have had a fixed bonded retainer glued in place behind your upper and lower front teeth to stop them from moving out of position. We’ll also provide you with a clear removable retainer that we recommend you wear to bed every night.

It’s also up to you to keep those straight teeth looking good with regular visits to your dentist and a good oral hygiene routine.

3. Fitting

Fitting

This is the appointment where we’ll fit you with your new braces or Invisalign. This is one of the longer appointments and usually takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. Our orthodontist will fit your braces or Invisalign and give you some guidance on how to take care of them.

4. Adjustments

Adjustments

As your treatment progresses and your teeth begin to move into their new positions, we’ll need to make regular adjustments to keep the process on track. The cost of these is included in your treatment plan; they’re usually short appointments of about 30 minutes and we’ll happily fit them in with your busy life.

2. Impressions

Impressions

If you decide to go ahead with treatment, the next step will be your impressions appointment. This can be done immediately following your consultation or at another time, whichever you prefer. During this appointment, we’ll take some photos of your teeth and smile, as well as x-rays and a 3D digital scan if required.

1. Consultation

Consultation

Your first orthodontic visit is all about learning more about your needs and the treatment options we can offer to give you straight teeth for life. You’ll meet with one of our treatment coordinators and one of our orthodontists who will listen to your concerns, complete an orthodontic examination and explain what treatment options may be available to you.

We’ll put together a detailed treatment plan that best suits your needs and desired outcome. It will involve an all-inclusive cost and the different interest-free payment plans that are available.
