First visit
Your first visit is an important step towards achieving a healthy and beautiful smile. It consists of a detailed examination in which the orthodontist will deal with the following issues:
-- Is there an orthodontic problem?
-- Do we need treatment now or should we wait for proper growth, tooth growth or other factors?
-- What kind of treatment will it take to correct the problem?
-- Do any permanent teeth need to be removed?
-- How long will the treatment last?
-- How much will it cost?
If the orthodontist thinks it is the right time to start orthodontic treatment, then she will proceed to obtain further diagnostic information.
These are:
Εxtra-oral photos
Intra-oral photos
and digital impressions from your teeth.
Our clinic, is amongst the first ones in Greece to have invested in a 3D dental scanner. (Trios from 3Shape). Nowdays, we don't need to take an impression, but instead we can scan your teeth and we create the 'plaster models' in a digital format.The process is quick, comfortable, and accurate.
Based on the results of the digital diagnostics, the orthodontist will discuss your treatment options with you. She will explain the steps to be followed, the expected duration of the treatment, and the cost. Our personalized approach ensures that you receive the best care for your needs. The treatment planning is done digitally, with a simulation of the final result, which you can see even before starting.

Using these data, combined with the appropriate radiographic examination, your treatment plan is fully customized and tailored to your needs. Because every smile is different!
