Your choice takes account of clinical findings, appearance preferences and everyday practicalities.
YOUR TREATMENT JOURNEY
A full assessment,
clearly explained steps.
The practice team welcomes you to arrange your assessment and follow-up appointments.
Examining your teeth and their position
Assessment covers your concerns, alignment, how your teeth meet and oral health. Bring previous records and explain any difficulty chewing or cleaning certain areas. Digital impressions and prescribed dental imaging are performed on site.
Fitting braces and monitoring movement
Your plan sets out stages, an estimated timetable and reviews. At fitting, ask for instructions about meals, brushing and issues to report. Appointments allow progress to be monitored and the appliance to be adjusted according to the agreed plan.
Maintaining tooth alignment
After removal, retention helps limit tooth movement. Retainers may be fixed or removable. Ask about wear instructions, cleaning, reviews and possible replacement costs. This phase is part of the orthodontic plan to discuss from the start.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Preparing your decision,
asking your questions.
Are ceramic braces invisible?
They are more discreet than metal brackets but are not invisible. The wire and other components also affect appearance. Ask to see the available options at the practice so that you can choose with realistic expectations.
Can adults have fixed braces?
Orthodontic treatment can be considered for adults. Examination helps assess tooth and gum health and treatment possibilities. Mention crowns, implants, previous dental work and medical treatment to help prepare your assessment.
How long will I need to wear braces?
Duration varies with the movements needed and treatment progress. An estimated timetable is discussed after examination. Ask how often reviews are needed and how follow-up can be organised if you travel or your availability changes.
How should I clean my teeth with braces?
Cleaning needs to reach around the brackets and beneath the wire. Ask for a demonstration and advice on suitable accessories. Inadequate cleaning increases the risk of decay and gum problems; dental check-ups remain important during treatment.
What if a bracket comes loose or a wire irritates my mouth?
Contact the practice to describe the problem and receive appropriate advice. Explain when the discomfort started. Avoid trying to glue a bracket back on or adjust the appliance yourself. The practice will advise whether an appointment is needed.
How much do braces cost in Casablanca?
The estimate depends on your plan and chosen appliance. Ask what is included in assessment, reviews, removal and retention. To arrange a consultation with Dr Houda Agunaou at City Office CFC, office A6, call 06 64 52 32 41 or use WhatsApp.
