You’ve finally decided to take the plunge and start orthodontic treatment. Surprise! After your initial consultation with your orthodontist, they tell you that you will first have to undergo one or more dental treatments before you can start wearing braces or aligners. In this article, we will explain these treatments and why they are often needed. We’ve compiled a list of the common dental treatments that may be necessary before you start the process of improving your smile with orthodontics.
What are pretreatments?
Pre-orthodontic treatments are dental procedures that patients may require before starting orthodontic treatment. After your consultation and diagnosis, your orthodontist will be in charge of indicating what treatments you’ll need.
Impress protocol before starting Invisible orthodontic treatment
Orthodontia is a medical speciality that aims to improve both dental and general health. Only orthodontists are qualified and trained to create your dental treatment plan, as they are experts in our teeth’s movement. Additionally, to maintain your health and provide you with quality care, a precise medical protocol must be followed.
During your initial consultation, we will perform a series of dental tests and examinations to create your personalised dental treatment plan and ensure that invisible orthodontics are the right option to achieve a straighter smile.
First, our medical team will perform a panoramic and intraoral x-ray to detect dental pathologies that can’t be seen with the naked eye. Next, we will take a 3D scan to create a digital impression of your teeth. As well as being much more accurate and pleasant than a plaster impression, it allows our team to create a customised plan and anticipate all your dental movements before you even start treatment.
Finally, a few days later, you will receive a 3D video montage based on your scan results to simulate all your dental changes. At this point, the orthodontist may prescribe one or more dental treatments to be performed before you start wearing aligners.
