The teeth must be very dry and clean and so before the fit the orthodontist will apply a product called etch to each tooth, this is then washed off and the teeth are dried.<\/p>\n A suction tube is used throughout the whole of the process to avoid any moisture getting onto the front surfaces of the teeth. The thickness of the wire slowly progresses throughout the treatment as the teeth move into the perfect arch position.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/malmin.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/shutterstock_576995383-1024×682-1.jpg” title_text=”Portrait,Of,Happy,Young,Black,Woman,Laughing,Against,Blue,Wall” _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”10px” border_color_all=”#FFFFFF” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ global_colors_info=”{}” src__hover_enabled=”on|desktop”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” box_shadow_style=”preset6″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Once the Brace is Fitted” _builder_version=”4.10.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_color=”#00acdb” header_font_size=”26px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n After the fit we would like to see you on average every 8-12 weeks to check the progress of the brace and adjust the wire as necessary.

On average a course of treatment is between 12-24 months.<\/p>\n At the end of the treatment we will fit you with a retainer. This is an invisible, removable appliance which helps to keep your teeth in their new position.<\/p>\n Sometimes we will fit you with a fixed retainer, further information about this will be given to you closer to the time.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.10.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_text_color=”#00acdb” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Is it Uncomfortable?” _builder_version=”4.10.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Having the braces fitted isn\u2019t uncomfortable, the only thing you may wince at is the cold water we use!
