The process of having orthodontic appliances affixed to teeth requires a specific timeframe for completion. This period involves preparation, bonding of brackets, and placement of the archwire. The total duration is influenced by factors such as the complexity of the case and the orthodontist’s methodology. As an example, a straightforward application might be completed more quickly than a complex case requiring additional bands or appliances.
Efficiency in this initial appointment translates to a positive patient experience. A well-organized and executed procedure minimizes chair time and reduces potential discomfort. Historically, techniques have evolved to streamline the process, utilizing advanced bonding agents and pre-adjusted appliances. The adoption of these improvements contributes to faster application times and potentially improved long-term outcomes.
