Step-by-Step Orthodontic Guide for Summercourt
Starting orthodontic treatment in Summercourt 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. The steps that follow cover self-assessment, consultation, fitting, adjustments and retention.
Tips for Getting the Most From Treatment in Summercourt
- 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.
