  • control visits, during which the appliance is being activated, eventually the new photos of the patient’s face and teeth are taken (showing the progress of treatment)
  • finishing of an active treatment - in the case of fixed appliance the brackets are taken off and the retention appliances are made (in the form of a wire glued to the lingual surface of the front teeth or in the form of a removable splint/ retention plate)
  • the retention phase - the control of the maintenance of the results obtained during active orthodontic treatment
