Specialist orthodontist and dental practice

Here are some points to consider before your visit to the orthodontist: Concerns and Expectations:

Concerns and Expectations: Think about what you hope to achieve from the treatment and what specific problems or complaints you would like to address.
Previous Treatments: Make notes of any previous dental treatments and surgeries, even if they are not directly related to orthodontics.
List of Questions: Write down any questions you have to ensure you get all the information you need. Questions could include the duration of treatment, costs, and potential risks.
Medical Records: Have relevant medical records ready, including information about allergies or previous illnesses that could affect treatment.
Insurance Information: Clarify in advance what services your health insurance covers and whether you need a referral.
General Health Status: Consider whether there are any general health problems that could affect orthodontic treatment, such as diabetes or osteoporosis.

By preparing for your visit, you can get the most out of your consultation and ensure that your specific needs and questions are addressed.

The frequency of visits to an orthodontic practice during treatment can vary, depending on the type of treatment, progress, and individual needs of the patient. Here are some general guidelines:

1. Regular check-ups: Usually, patients have to come in for a check-up every 4 to 8 weeks. These appointments are used to monitor the progress of the treatment and to make adjustments to the braces if necessary. hese appointments are used to monitor the progress of the treatment and to make adjustments to the braces if necessary.
2. Initial phase: At the beginning of the treatment, appointments may be more frequent to place the braces and ensure that everything fits correctly and the patient gets used to the appliance.
3. Adjustments: Depending on the type of braces – whether fixed braces, removable braces or aligners – additional appointments may be necessary to replace or adjust parts.
4. Emergencies: In case of problems such as pain, breakage of a bracket or a wire, an additional visit may be necessary to fix the problem.
5. End of treatment: Towards the end of treatment, when the teeth are almost in the desired position, appointments may become a little less frequent again. After the completion of the active phase, appointments follow for monitoring and, if necessary, for adjusting retainers, which are intended to help stabilize the teeth in the new position.

It is important that you keep all scheduled appointments to ensure the best possible success of your orthodontic treatment. Your orthodontist will give you an individual treatment plan that will specify exactly how often you should come in for checkups.
