Information Overview | Glasgow Southside Orthodontics

First and Second Visits

During your first visit with the orthodontist, a clinical exam will be carried out prior to discussing potential treatment options.

Initial Treatment

Although orthodontics can enhance a smile at any age, beginning treatment as soon as a problem is suspected will ensure the greatest results.

Types of Braces

Patients now have more options when it comes to braces. While metal braces are still widely used, invisible aligners are becoming increasingly popular.

Retention

Retention is an integral part of your overall treatment during which you will continue to attend appointments to enable us to monitor your progress.

Corrective Jaw Surgery

If corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) is deemed necessary you will be referred to a centre which specialises in this area.

Tips For Braces

It is important that you look after your braces and your teeth if you're to get the maximum benefit from your orthodontic treatment.
