Step-by-Step Orthodontic Guide for Lover

Many people in Lover 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. This guide walks you through the full journey from first assessment to long-term retention.

Tips for Getting the Most From Treatment in Lover

• 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.
