What Are The Signs Or Symptoms Of Orthodontic
Problems?

• Take a look at your teeth, if you see any signs
  of crooked teeth, gaps between the teeth, or
  overlapping teeth, orthodontic treatment may be
  necessary.
• Look at your jaw alignment. Does the jaw shift
  off center during biting down? If you see any
  misalignment or shifting of the jaw, then you may
  require early orthodontic treatment.

Will I need to have teeth extracted for braces?
Removing teeth is sometimes required to achieve
the best orthodontic result. However, with
advance treatment procedures, removing teeth is
not always necessary for orthodontic treatment.

How Often Will I Have Appointments?
Appointments are scheduled according to each
patient's needs. Most patients in braces will be
seen every 4 to 6 weeks. If there are specific
situations that require more frequent monitoring,
your orthodontist will schedule those
appointments accordingly.

How Often Should I Brush My Teeth While In Braces?
Patients should maintain good oral hygiene
by brushing their teeth after each meal, in the
morning, and before going to bed. Your
orthodontist will show each patient how to
properly brush and floss the teeth with braces.
