Your Orthodontic Treatment Guide in Hazelwood
Many people in Hazelwood 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. This guide walks you through the full journey from first assessment to long-term retention.
Tips for Getting the Most From Treatment in Hazelwood
- 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.

- Start wearing retainers immediately — the most important single factor in protecting your result long-term.
