Orthodontic appliance check-up
A scheduled check and activation of the orthodontic appliance for a predictable result.
An appliance check-up is a scheduled review of the condition and effectiveness of a removable or fixed device. The frequency is individual, depending on the appliance type and treatment stage. The doctor assesses progress and performs activations or adjustments: for functional appliances, a change of position; for expanders, control of the screw activation. We also assess the teeth and gums and check hygiene. If needed, we adjust the wearing regimen or the plan itself. Regular visits ensure a predictable result.
