orthodontic treatment planning

Orthodontic treatment planning involves assessing a patient’s teeth, jaw alignment, and facial structure to develop a personalized strategy for correcting misalignments. This process typically includes diagnostic tools like X-rays and photographs. Based on this information, an orthodontist designs a comprehensive plan, which may include braces, aligners, or other appliances, to guide teeth into the desired position. The plan also outlines the treatment duration and follow-up care. The goal is to improve oral function, enhance appearance, and promote long-term dental health. Regular adjustments and progress monitoring ensure the treatment stays on track.
