The Orthodontic Journey in Currock
Starting orthodontic treatment in Currock can feel daunting if you don't know what to expect. Knowing what happens at each step — and roughly how long it takes — removes most of the uncertainty. The steps that follow cover self-assessment, consultation, fitting, adjustments and retention.
Tips for Getting the Most From Treatment in Currock
- 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.
