Our Seamless 4-Step Orthodontic Process
1. Consultation & Smile Assessment
Your orthodontic journey begins with a detailed check of your teeth, bite, spacing, crowding, and smile concerns. We also discuss what you want to improve and what matters most to you.
2. Personalised Treatment Planning
Your orthodontic treatment is tailored to your specific alignment concerns, oral health, and lifestyle. Based on your needs, we recommend the most suitable option, whether braces, clear aligners, or another approach.
3. Braces or Aligners Start
Once the plan is finalised, braces are placed or aligners are provided as per the planned sequence. You receive clear instructions on care, cleaning, and what to expect.
4. Follow-Ups & Retainers
Regular reviews help track progress and make adjustments when required. After treatment, retainers may be recommended to help maintain your new smile position.
