Effective orthodontic treatment requires time and cooperation. The orthodontist starts the treatment with an examination of the teeth and mouth, by studying x-rays, photos and models of the teeth. The treatment involves mostly of braces which will put pressure on teeth to gradually move them into the correct position over time. Braces, which are fixed orthodontic appliances, consist of brackets, bands and wires. The treatment procedures at orthodontics south east London are carried out with tools like a palatal expander, temporary anchorage devices (TADs) and rubber bands. These tools help in minimising risks in the treatment and ensuring better results.
