Orthodontic treatment in Surrey is the movement of teeth to ultimately improve mouth health and the overall appearance of the teeth. Orthodontic treatment can straighten crooked teeth and position them to correct bite and jaw issues. When you decide to take the plunge and search for an “orthodontist near me”, one of the questions you may be asking is “What is included in orthodontic treatment?”
Orthodontists will assess your mouth and overall bite and determine a course of treatment for each specific case. This examination will usually include x-rays and involve creating plaster models of your teeth.
Once a treatment option is decided upon, your orthodontist will explain the complete treatment in Vancouver to you, providing different options, as well as an explanation of everything that’s included. In some cases, tooth extraction may be necessary to make enough room for other teeth, if your mouth is too crowded. This is not always the case, however.
Orthodontic treatment often involves braces, or more in recent years, invisible aligners. There are pros and cons to each treatment option, and your orthodontist will be able to discuss these with you. In either case, both treatment options will involve frequent check-ups with your orthodontist.
The length of treatment can vary, and ranges anywhere from a few months, to a few years, depending on the severity. Once treatment is finished, and teeth are in the correct positions, there is a retention period. During this time, a retainer is used to hold the teeth in position as they settle into their new positions.
If you decide to undertake orthodontic treatment, make sure you talk to an orthodontist near you in Vancouver to discuss treatment and get a detailed breakdown of your treatment plan.
