1. Your Initial Consultation: The First Step to a Beautiful Smile
What Happens During Your Consultation?
Your journey with the Pitts21 System of Braces begins with a thorough consultation. During this visit, Dr. David Herman will evaluate your smile, assess your dental health, and discuss your treatment goals. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you may have about Pitts21 or the orthodontic process.
At Four Corners Dental & Orthodontics, we understand the importance of making informed decisions. Our team will explain the benefits of Pitts21, including its efficiency, comfort, and ability to deliver faster results compared to traditional braces.
The Importance of a Personalized Treatment Plan
Each smile is unique, and your treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs. We’ll take precise measurements and possibly capture some X-rays to understand your teeth’s alignment better. This helps us design a treatment plan that’s perfect for you or your child.
2. Getting Your Pitts21 Braces: Same-Day Treatment for Busy Families
Why Same-Day Braces Make a Difference
We know how busy life can get, especially when juggling school, work, and family. At Four Corners Dental & Orthodontics, we offer same-day braces, which means you can start your orthodontic journey without the need for multiple visits. We’ll apply your Pitts21 braces during your first visit, saving you valuable time and ensuring that you can begin your treatment right away.
What to Expect on Your Braces Placement Day
The process of getting your Pitts21 braces typically takes about 90 minutes. During this time, our team will place the brackets and wires on your teeth. Although it may feel a little strange at first, you’ll quickly get used to the braces, and we’ll provide all the information you need to care for them properly.
Comfort with Pitts21 Braces
The Pitts21 System of Braces is designed for comfort. The advanced technology behind Pitts21 helps reduce the discomfort that can come with traditional braces. This system allows for fewer adjustments and generally results in a smoother treatment experience for you and your family.
3. Throughout Your Pitts21 Treatment: Progress and Care
Monitoring Your Progress
Throughout your Pitts21 treatment, you will visit us periodically for check-ups. These visits are quick and easy, allowing Dr. Herman to make any necessary adjustments to ensure your treatment is on track. You can rest assured knowing that our team is here to help with any concerns and answer any questions along the way.
How Long Will Treatment Take?
Treatment times with Pitts21 can vary depending on your individual needs, but many patients experience a reduction in overall treatment time compared to traditional braces. On average, treatment lasts anywhere from 12 to 18 months, depending on your specific goals.
Maintaining Your Braces
Caring for your braces is essential to ensure the best results. We will provide you with guidelines on how to brush and floss around your Pitts21 braces and how to avoid certain foods that could cause damage. Good oral hygiene is key to a smooth, successful treatment.
4. Completing Your Pitts21 Journey: The Final Reveal
