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 Polmassick
- Attend all appointments — missing adjustment appointments extends treatment and can affect the outcome.
