Typically every two weeks. Keep in mind, it really depends on the case. Please discuss it with your orthodontist. Take care! READ MORE

Thank you for a great question. Although it does not look entirely natural to dentists, it is the best available in terms of looking natural. Also, keep in mind that there may be other alternatives to consider. READ MORE
Does an overbite need to be corrected?
If you are looking for straight teeth, yes. However, you may be happy with your teeth, and they look beautiful as they are. It is really entirely up to you if it is only considered for cosmetic reasons. Take care! READ MORE
