Regardless of your teeth alignment issue, our team will discuss your case with you and determine the best treatment plan.

The initial consultation starts with an examination. Dr. Riordan will examine your teeth, take X-rays, and take digital scans (if needed) to evaluate your dental health and determine the best route to take regarding your treatment. Once the examination is conducted, Dr. Riordan will create a personalized treatment plan. Your treatment plan will outline the type of braces recommended, how long your treatment will last, and other specific details. Dr. Riordan will discuss your treatment plan with you and answer any questions you may have.

After Dr. Riordan establishes your treatment plan, he and his team will begin the braces application process. Braces will be attached to your teeth and connected with wires, helping to shift your teeth gradually into the desired position.

You will have regular appointments to get your wires adjusted and to ensure the treatment continues to be as effective as possible.

Once your teeth have reached the proper alignment, we will remove your braces and fit you with a retainer to help keep them in the correct place and prevent them from shifting back to their original positions.
