How Orthodontic Treatment Works in Ivy Hatch
Whether it's for you or your child, understanding the orthodontic journey in Ivy Hatch helps you ask the right questions. The process is well-defined, and most patients find it far more manageable once they understand each stage. A photo assessment is the easy first step before any of this begins.
Making Treatment Go Smoothly in Ivy Hatch
- Don't skip adjustment visits — each one keeps the plan on schedule; missing them just adds time later.
- Step up your cleaning routine — brackets and wires trap plaque, so interdental brushes and fluoride mouthwash matter more than usual.
- Aligner wear time is non-negotiable — under 20–22 hours a day and the plan slips, sometimes needing extra refinement trays.
- Report breakages same-day — a loose bracket or broken wire left unaddressed can undo weeks of progress.
- Retainers start the moment treatment ends — this is the single biggest factor in whether the result actually lasts.
The Treatment Journey, Stage by Stage
Every case in Ivy Hatch follows broadly the same arc; knowing the stages in advance makes the whole thing feel far more manageable.
