Starting orthodontic treatment in Dixon Green 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 Dixon Green
- Attend all appointments — missing adjustment appointments extends treatment and can affect the outcome.
