FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Short answers
about the process.
The priority of the first visit is to understand the current situation. Additional records may be needed for a definitive plan; an exam does not mean treatment starts the same day.
The records used are determined by clinical need. A digital scan, photographs or radiological imaging may not be at the same scope for every individual.
The check-up interval varies by the method used and the stage of treatment. A suitable follow-up schedule for you is explained during planning.
It is recommended that you contact the clinic to report the situation. You will receive suitable initial guidance, and a check-up appointment will be scheduled if needed.
While the basic assessment steps are similar, growth and dental development are additionally considered in children, while existing teeth and surrounding tissues are considered in adults.
The situation can be assessed by reviewing existing appliances and records. How the process can continue only becomes clear after a clinical exam.
