• Consultation Stage
  • The initial appointment can last for about 30 minutes to one hour, or depending on your case. During the consultation, impressions (Models ) of your upper and lower teeth will be taken through digital photographs and radiographs (OPG and Lateral cephalogram ), and evaluation of your occlusion or bite will be done.
  • Your orthodontist will then explain the treatment plan, various issues that need to be addressed and will discuss solutions and alternatives, and the possible risks and limitations. Additionally, fees and total time of the treatment will be explained.
• Bonding Stage
  • This is the stage when the braces are put on. This is a very intricate process where the bands and brackets are placed on your teeth. Your dentist will then glue or Bond the braces onto both your top sets of teeth and the metal bands will be fitted and cemented in place in molars. Then, wires will be tied and torqued, and the patient will have the freedom to choose color elastics – used to hold the wire in the slot on the bracket. Oral hygiene and proper home teeth care will be discussed as well.
• Regular Adjustments Stage
  • Routine appointments, typically every 4 weeks for at least half an hour, will be scheduled to enable your dentist to monitor progress or to do adjustments and wire modifications as needed. The braces are tightened, colored elastics are changed and broken brackets are replaced.
• Debonding Stage
  • After all the hard work, this is the stage when you can smile all you want as your braces are to be taken off. The brackets and bands are removed, the teeth are cleaned and polished and final photographs are taken. An impression is also taken for the final removable retainers.
• Retainer Stage
  • After the initial delivery of the retainers, an appointment will be set for final follow up. And checking retainer every six month for at least period of 1.5 to 2 years.

HOW CAN I TAKE CARE OF MY TEETH IF I’M WEARING BRACES OR A RETAINER?

• ALWAYS remember to brush your teeth after every meal and floss at least once a day.
• Make sure to use toothpaste that contains fluoride, and ask your orthodontist or family dentist if you need a fluoride rinse. This will help prevent cavities!
• If you take out your retainer to eat, make sure you brush your teeth, floss, and remember to keep it safe in its container so that it does not get lost or broken.
• Keep your retainer clean, too, by brushing it gently with a toothbrush and toothpaste. You may also soak it in denture cleaner as instructed by your orthodontist. Do not put your retainer in boiling water or in the dishwasher.
• During your treatment, try to avoid foods with a lot of sugar, which increases the amount of bacteria that grows in your mouth, causing more plaque and possibly cavities.
• Avoid sticky and chewy foods (caramel, chewing gum, gummy bears), hard foods (hard candy, nuts, ice cubes), or any foods that could possibly get stuck in your braces (corn on the cob, soft bagels, ribs, taffy, etc.).
• Be sure to schedule your routine checkups with your family dentist. It is recommended that you continue to visit the dentist every six months.

Are retainers necessary and how long will I have to wear one?

A retainer is a device worn full or part-time after braces have been removed. The retainer is designed to prevent your teeth from drifting or moving while the bone around your teeth hardens and stabilizes. The longer you wear your retainer, the better your chances that your teeth will not relapse. Retainers provide assurance that your teeth will stay in perfect alignment while your jaw continues to grow or develop. We recommend that retainers are worn a lifetime.

How often do I have to visit Dr Brijesh Patel’s Brij Dental Clinic when I’m wearing a retainer?

During the first year and a half of retention, you will still visit our orthodontic offices periodically. After that period, you no longer need to visit our offices, but it is your responsibility to wear your retainer as Dr Brijesh Patel prescribes.

Where should I store my retainer?

Protect your retainer — store it in its case so that it doesn’t get damaged. If your retainer does become damaged, call for a repair appointment.
