What to Expect
After an orthodontic consultation, Dr. Fakhri will take digital X-rays and impressions to design a customized treatment plan. Brackets are bonded to each tooth, and an archwire gently guides teeth into alignment over time. You’ll visit regularly for adjustments to ensure steady progress. Most patients complete treatment within 18–24 months, depending on the case.
Who It’s For
- Children and teens with developing alignment issues
- Adults seeking reliable, comprehensive correction
- Patients with spacing, crowding, or bite concerns
