Stages of treatment

Stage two

If approved for treatment, photographs and an impression of the patient’s teeth will then be passed onto to the dental laboratory so that the braces can be made up to fit the proportions of the patient’s mouth.
Stage three
The brace will then be sent back to the dentist, so they can fit the brace to the teeth. The patient will be asked to return to the dentist every ten weeks to adjust the brace.
