This is the most common type of treatment in orthodontics, it occurs after all of the adult teeth have erupted. Comprehensive treatment completely corrects all bite problems from start to finish in one stage. Comprehensive Orthodontic treatment remains one of the commonest forms of orthodontic treatment patients at The Dental Specialty Center receive to correct their bite problems. In most cases, after patients have indicated interest in having straighter teeth, braces are added to the upper and lower teeth with the aim to re-align the teeth into a straighter position.

Treatment procedures

Treatment procedures for the traditional metal braces consist of the placement of the metal bands and wires, adjustments and follow-ups over the duration of treatment and removal of the braces at the end of treatment. To ensure that the teeth remain in position and does not drift back to an earlier position, the orthodontist will also construct a retainer for patients to help them keep their teeth in the new position and also offer after treatment support and follow-up treatment services needed by patients to maintain their desired anatomical and aesthetically pleasing dental result. The length of comprehensive Orthodontic Treatment at The Dental Specialty Center typically depends on the oral health of the patient and the severity of the problem to be corrected. In some severe cases, it may take between 18 – 24 months of treatment while in other cases, especially for minor crowding of the teeth, treatment may take as little as 9 – 18 months.

Comprehensive Orthodontic Examination

For dental braces to be installed, the orthodontist will begin the process with a complete dental examination. Patients with tooth decay may present more difficult problems for orthodontists. The diagnostic process entails special X-ray of the head, known as a cephalometric x-ray, and this is performed at our dental office. The x-ray is then processed by the latest computer technology and gives our orthodontist the needed information about the direction of bone growth, the relation of the upper jaw to the lower jaw, relationship between the upper and lower teeth and also other information such as wisdom teeth, a missing tooth or extra tooth. This information is very important as they aid the process of assisting patients with a better smile quality.
