How Orthodontic Treatment Works in Canons Ashby
Many people in Canons Ashby delay treatment simply because they don't know where to start. A clear picture of the process makes patients more confident and more consistent at every stage. The steps that follow cover self-assessment, consultation, fitting, adjustments and retention.
Tips for Getting the Most From Treatment in Canons Ashby
- Attend all appointments — missing adjustment appointments extends treatment and can affect the outcome.
- Keep teeth clean — orthodontic treatment makes cleaning harder. Use interdental brushes and fluoride mouthwash daily.
- For aligner patients: wear your trays — 20–22 hours per day is non-negotiable for achieving the planned result.
- Contact your practice promptly if something breaks — a detached bracket or broken wire delays treatment. Call the same day.
- Start wearing retainers immediately — the most important single factor in protecting your result long-term.
