Step 1

Consultation

Your first appointment is the consultation. Dr Kathleen Sandberg will take check up x-rays to make sure the teeth and gums are healthy for braces. She will go over anything important in your medical history and answer any questions. This consultation appointment is quick and painless. Kathleen will take a look at both your teeth and bony structure of your face and discuss what treatment options are available to you. If Kathleen doesn’t feel it is within her scope of practice to continue to treat you, then she will be more than happy to send you to a specialist orthodontist for further discussions on how best to treat your specific specialist needs.

Step 2

Initial appointment

This appointment will take around 2 hours. Please be aware that you can not book this until you have had your consultation appointment with Dr. Kathleen Sandberg. At this appointment, you will have “records” taken. You will need photos (intra-oral only), X-rays and impressions/moulds for study models. Your “worst” arch (top or bottom) will be fitted first. You may not get all of the brackets placed on all of the teeth of that arch, depending on the crowding and position of the teeth.

Step 3

Recurring appointments

These appointments occur anywhere from 3-6 weeks. People normally think of these appointments as “getting their braces tightened”.This is also where additional brackets are placed, as teeth come into alignment/archform. Sometimes, a small amount of space is necessary to achieve a movement, (but not enough to warrant a tooth extraction), so a procedure called “inter proximal reduction” takes place. This is a reshaping of the contact point between the teeth and allows the teeth to align better.

Step 4

De-banding/retainer

When both the patient/parent and Dr. Kathleen Sandberg feel the treatment has come to an end, the braces are removed and retainers are given. Generally, the upper teeth will have a removable retainer that will require another quick appointment to fit it, while the bottom teeth may be fitted with a fixed retainer that same day, or you may choose a removable option. Photos will be taken of your new beautiful smile for the records and you will be free to show off to all of your friends.

About Teeth Movers and More:

Teeth Movers and More is more than just a general dentist’s office. Dr. Sandberg performs all functions of general dentistry from fillings to crowns, root canals to implants, but this deal is for getting your teeth straightened via fixed braces. Dr. Sandberg has been doing dentistry since 1994 and caters to both children and adults. Her orthodontic philosophy is to assess children in the pre-teen years to modify growth during the growth phase, if necessary. This is called phase 1 orthodontics and is her preferred method of treating crooked teeth and bite problems. This happens prior to placing braces- nobody wants teeth pulled if they don’t have to, right? But if that window has passed and you are a teen or an adult who is looking to have a straighter smile, then grab a deal and come see Dr. Kathleen Sandberg at Teeth Movers and More.
