Your Orthodontic Treatment Guide in Lambrook
Many people in Lambrook delay treatment simply because they don't know where to start. Knowing what happens at each step — and roughly how long it takes — removes most of the uncertainty. A photo assessment is the easy first step before any of this begins.
Tips for Getting the Most From Treatment in Lambrook
- 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.
