How Orthodontic Treatment Works in Rainworth
Starting orthodontic treatment in Rainworth can feel daunting if you don't know what to expect. The process is well-defined, and most patients find it far more manageable once they understand each stage. Below, each stage is set out in order so you can plan effectively.
Tips for Getting the Most From Treatment in Rainworth
- Attend all appointments — missing adjustment appointments extends treatment and can affect the outcome.

- 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.
