The adult orthodontics treatment process

Step 1

Your journey begins with a thorough examination where Dr. El Ghannam evaluates your oral health, discusses your goals, and answers your questions. We'll take digital images and impressions to create your personalized treatment plan.

Step 2

Based on your specific needs and chosen treatment option, we'll begin the process of aligning your teeth. Regular appointments will be scheduled to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments to ensure the best possible results.

Step 3

Once your active treatment is complete, we'll provide custom retainers to maintain your new smile. Dr. El Ghannam will create a retention plan tailored to your specific needs for long-lasting results.

Better Functionality

Properly aligned teeth and jaws improve biting, chewing, and speaking functions, potentially alleviating issues like jaw pain, headaches, and uneven tooth wear.
