Orthodontic steps for crowded teeth

The orthodontic steps for crowded teeth are the same as for most malocclusions (malocclusions) and consist mainly of a preliminary preparation process. An intra-oral examination is performed and the corresponding X-rays are taken to understand the condition of the teeth in the bone and the upper and lower jaws, followed by impressions and photographs. After collecting the information, the doctor will analyze it, come up with the appropriate treatment plan, talk carefully with the patient, and after obtaining consent, the next step of the treatment plan will begin. If tooth extraction is required, the patient will be advised to have the tooth extracted. If extraction is not required, it may be recommended that braces can be started, and after braces are worn, a follow-up visit is usually possible once a month, for a total treatment time of about 2.5 years, and finally, the braces are removed.
