The Metal Braces Treatment Process

Initial Consultation and Treatment Plan

Your journey with metal braces begins with a comprehensive consultation at Oasis Dental + Ryan Duong in Aurora, CO. Dr. Ryan Duong will evaluate your teeth and jaw alignment using advanced imaging techniques, including X-rays and impressions. After identifying the specific issues and discussing your smile goals, Dr. Duong will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. You’ll also learn about the timeline of your treatment and what to expect throughout the process.

Placing Your Braces

During your second visit, Dr. Duong will carefully bond the metal brackets to the front of your teeth using a dental adhesive. An archwire is then threaded through the brackets and secured with small elastic bands, which come in a variety of colors to let you personalize your braces. This step is precise and ensures the braces are positioned correctly for optimal results. Once applied, Dr. Duong will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your braces and maintain oral hygiene throughout your treatment.

Regular Adjustments and Monitoring

Over the course of your treatment, you’ll visit Oasis Dental regularly for adjustments. During these visits, Dr. Duong will tighten the archwire and replace the elastic bands to maintain steady pressure on your teeth, guiding them into their correct positions. These appointments also allow Dr. Duong to monitor your progress and make any necessary modifications to your treatment plan. Consistent adjustments ensure that your teeth continue to shift safely and effectively until your ideal smile is achieved.
