The Treatment Process
Initial Consultation
We’ll assess your smile and discuss your goals. After digital X-rays and photos, Dr. Yousefi will recommend a customized treatment plan.
Braces Placement
During your appointment, we’ll attach the metal brackets to your teeth, connect them with a wire, and secure everything with rubber bands. The process takes about 1-2 hours, and you’ll feel comfortable throughout.
Regular Adjustments
You’ll return every 4-8 weeks for adjustments. During these visits, we’ll tighten the wires and check your progress.
Completion
Once your teeth are perfectly aligned, we’ll remove your braces and provide a retainer to keep your smile in place.
