DIAGNOSTIC RECORDS & TREATMENT PLANNING
If treatment is recommended, we may take photographs, X-rays, and a digital scan of your teeth and bite.
Dr. Taz will review your records and create a personalized treatment plan. We will then help you schedule treatment and review financial arrangements.
SUCCESSIVE VISITS
Regular visits allow us to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. Appointment frequency varies depending on your treatment plan.
Continue seeing your family dentist for routine cleanings and dental care throughout orthodontic treatment.
After treatment, retainers help maintain your new smile. Long-term retainer wear is recommended to help keep your teeth in their corrected positions.
LENGTH OF TREATMENT
Treatment time varies depending on your orthodontic needs, age, treatment goals, and cooperation. Many treatments take approximately 6–30 months.
DENTAL CARE
Healthy teeth and gums are important before and during orthodontic treatment. Any necessary dental treatment, including fillings, cleanings, or extractions, should be completed as recommended by your dentist or orthodontist.
Regular dental checkups and cleanings should continue throughout treatment.
If you have questions about your treatment or timing, please call us at Centreville Office Phone Number 703-815-6455.
