Braces check-up visit

A scheduled braces adjustment every 4-8 weeks - its regularity determines the result.

A braces check-up is a scheduled adjustment of the appliance every 4-8 weeks: the doctor changes the archwires, activates the system and monitors progress. Each visit begins with a photo protocol. The doctor assesses tooth movement, the state of the braces and hygiene, then performs the planned steps - changing the archwire, adding elastics, activating springs. The regularity and precision of adjustments determine the speed and quality of the result, so we advise not skipping visits.

When to come

  • You're in active braces treatment.
  • 4-8 weeks have passed since the last visit.
  • The archwire deformed or a bracket came off.
  • Discomfort or questions about treatment.
