| Question
Can anyone have orthodontic treatment?
| Answer
Generally orthodontic treatment is best carried out in children, but many adults have orthodontic treatment too.
Orthodontic treatment involves a full examination of your teeth, which includes taking x-rays and making plaster models of your teeth from impressions, and possibly taking photographs.
Orthodontic treatment is carried out using a range of appliances, which may be removable or fixed temporarily to your teeth, depending on your treatment needs. It is usually necessary to adjust any orthodontic appliance at 4-6 weekly intervals.
