This is a necessary step in The Stages of Getting Braces, helping identify the degree of tooth misalignment, bite problems, and oral health issues that need to be addressed before orthodontic care begins.<\/p><p>During the consultation, the patient will discuss their orthodontic goals, dental history, and any difficulties they are experiencing with chewing or oral hygiene. The dentist will then take intraoral and extraoral photographs, X-rays, or cephalometric images to evaluate tooth position, tooth roots, jawbone structure, and the relationship between the upper and lower jaws.<\/p><p>Based on the examination results, the dentist will create an orthodontic plan suitable for each case. Once the patient agrees with the plan, the dentist will take dental impressions or perform a digital scan.<\/p><p>For traditional braces, dental impressions are often used to design supporting appliances. For clear aligners, 3D scanning technology helps simulate tooth movement and fabricate aligners suitable for each stage.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29439 size-full\" title=\"Giai \u0111o\u1ea1n th\u0103m kh\u00e1m t\u1ed5ng qu\u00e1t v\u00e0 l\u1eadp k\u1ebf ho\u1ea1ch ch\u1ec9nh nha\" src=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/giai-doan-dau-nieng-rang.jpg\" alt=\"Giai \u0111o\u1ea1n th\u0103m kh\u00e1m t\u1ed5ng qu\u00e1t v\u00e0 l\u1eadp k\u1ebf ho\u1ea1ch ch\u1ec9nh nha\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/giai-doan-dau-nieng-rang.jpg 900w, https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/giai-doan-dau-nieng-rang-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/giai-doan-dau-nieng-rang-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4683ecb1 at-heading-animation at-animation-heading-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4683ecb1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Stage 2: Teeth Alignment<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2996bc12 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2996bc12\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After the orthodontic plan is completed, the dentist will begin moving the teeth into a straighter position on the dental arch. This is an early stage of getting braces, helping rotate misaligned teeth, improve crowding, and create a foundation for later bite adjustment.<\/p><p>With braces, the dentist will attach orthodontic appliances to the teeth and use a suitable archwire to apply gentle force. This force helps the teeth move gradually, reduces significant discomfort, and allows the oral cavity time to adapt. Once the teeth respond well, the appliances will be adjusted at each follow-up visit.<\/p><p>In general, the teeth alignment stage lasts about 2 to 6 months, depending on the initial level of misalignment in each patient. After each tightening appointment or archwire change, you may feel mild soreness or pressure during the first 1 to 3 days.<\/p><p>If the dental arch does not have enough space for the teeth to move, the dentist may consider tooth extraction or interproximal reduction at an appropriate ratio. These indications will be carefully calculated to create enough space, guide the teeth in the right direction, and reduce the risk of crowding returning.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-177d757c at-heading-animation at-animation-heading-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"177d757c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Stage 3: Bite Adjustment and Space Closure<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f0cb4b9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6f0cb4b9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Among The Stages of Getting Braces, bite adjustment and space closure directly affect facial aesthetics, the alignment of the dental arch, and chewing function after braces. Once the teeth are relatively straight, the dentist will begin controlling the movement direction of each group of teeth to close gaps and improve protrusion, underbite, or bite misalignment.<\/p><p>This stage usually takes about 4 to 8 months. For cases involving tooth extraction, severe bite misalignment, or slow tooth movement, the process may last around 12 months. At each follow-up visit, the dentist will assess tooth movement, root stability, and the relationship between the upper and lower jaws to adjust the orthodontic force appropriately.<\/p><p>During space closure, the dentist may prescribe one of three main movement approaches:<\/p><ul><li>Moving the front teeth backward: This is commonly applied in cases of protruding teeth, flared front teeth, or lip protrusion caused by tooth position. The dentist uses power chains, springs, or orthodontic appliances to apply controlled force, gradually moving the front teeth backward into the correct position on the dental arch.<\/li><li>Moving the back teeth forward: This may be suitable for some cases that require using the front space or supporting jaw relationship improvement in underbite correction. The pulling force will be carefully calculated so the back teeth move in the right direction without disturbing the bite.<\/li><li>Combining movement of both front and back teeth: This approach is often used when the dentist needs to control both groups of teeth at the same time to close spaces evenly, keep the dental midline stable, and limit tooth tipping during movement.<\/li><\/ul><p>Along with space closure, the dentist will refine the bite so the upper and lower teeth contact in the correct positions. Patients may be instructed to wear interarch elastics, attached from the upper braces to the lower braces as prescribed, to help the two jaws work together more effectively, improve chewing force, and support a more balanced jaw relationship after braces are completed.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29440 size-full\" title=\"Giai \u0111o\u1ea1n \u0111i\u1ec1u ch\u1ec9nh kh\u1edbp c\u1eafn v\u00e0 \u0111\u00f3ng khe h\u1edf\" src=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/cac-giai-doan-cua-nieng-rang.jpg\" alt=\"Giai \u0111o\u1ea1n \u0111i\u1ec1u ch\u1ec9nh kh\u1edbp c\u1eafn v\u00e0 \u0111\u00f3ng khe h\u1edf\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/cac-giai-doan-cua-nieng-rang.jpg 900w, https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/cac-giai-doan-cua-nieng-rang-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/cac-giai-doan-cua-nieng-rang-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-57b345ba at-heading-animation at-animation-heading-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"57b345ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Stage 4: Refinement and Completion<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42e74ed9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"42e74ed9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">After about 15 months of wearing braces, most teeth have moved close to their desired positions, and the dental arch begins to become more stable. At this stage, the dentist will focus on refining the final details before removing the braces to ensure that the teeth are not only well aligned but also have a bite that supports proper chewing function.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The dentist may further adjust tooth rotation, tooth inclination, any remaining small gaps, or unstable bite contact points. In some cases, patients may still need to continue wearing interarch elastics as prescribed to help the upper and lower jaws fit together better when biting down.<\/p><p>The refinement stage usually lasts about 2 to 6 months, depending on tooth stability and each person\u2019s response to orthodontic force.

When the teeth have moved into stable positions, the dental arch is more even, the bite has reached a proper relationship, and the face appears more balanced, the braces process can move into the completion stage.<\/p><p>Before removing the braces, the dentist will carefully check the interdigitation between the upper and lower teeth, bite contact points, dental midline, evenness of the dental arch, and post-orthodontic stability. If these criteria are met, the brackets will be removed, and the patient will have dental impressions taken or a digital scan performed to make retainers.<\/p><p>Wearing retainers is a required step after braces are removed. At this point, the teeth still tend to shift slightly because the periodontal ligaments and alveolar bone need time to adapt to the new tooth positions. Retainers help keep the teeth stable, reduce the risk of relapse, and protect the long-term orthodontic result.<\/p><p>Depending on each case, the dentist may prescribe removable retainers or fixed retainers placed on the inner surfaces of the teeth. Patients need to wear them for the recommended duration, attend regular follow-up visits, and maintain careful oral hygiene to preserve the result after braces.<\/p><p>For more information about how long retainers should be worn after braces, you can refer to the article \u201c<span style=\"color: #003366;\"><a style=\"color: #003366;\" href=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/en\/how-long-should-you-wear-retainers-after-braces\/\"><b>How Long Should You Wear Retainers After Braces?<\/b><\/a><\/span>\u201d.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29441 size-full\" title=\"Giai \u0111o\u1ea1n th\u00e1o ni\u1ec1ng v\u00e0 \u0111eo h\u00e0m duy tr\u00ec\" src=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/giai-doan-cuoi-cua-nieng-rang.jpg\" alt=\"Giai \u0111o\u1ea1n th\u00e1o ni\u1ec1ng v\u00e0 \u0111eo h\u00e0m duy tr\u00ec\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/giai-doan-cuoi-cua-nieng-rang.jpg 900w, https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/giai-doan-cuoi-cua-nieng-rang-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/giai-doan-cuoi-cua-nieng-rang-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-380ad28f at-heading-animation at-animation-heading-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"380ad28f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Some Issues to Keep in Mind During The Stages of Getting Braces<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79c5a144 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"79c5a144\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Throughout The Stages of Getting Braces, proper oral hygiene and following the dentist\u2019s instructions play an important role in controlling orthodontic force, protecting the gum tissue, and maintaining the progress of orthodontic care.

These foods can cause brackets to come loose, bend the archwire, or place excessive chewing force on the teeth.<\/p><p>During the first few days after braces tightening, you should prioritize soft, easy-to-chew foods such as porridge, soup, eggs, yogurt, mashed potatoes, or foods cut into small pieces.

Each follow-up visit helps the dentist control the direction of tooth movement, preventing the teeth from moving in the wrong direction or the braces process from taking longer than expected.<\/p><p>If the dentist prescribes interarch elastics, an expander, miniscrews, or other supporting orthodontic appliances, you should use them exactly as instructed to help the teeth and jaws move according to the treatment plan.<\/p><p>If a bracket becomes loose, the archwire pokes into the cheek, pain persists, the gums become swollen, or any unusual signs appear, you should contact the dental clinic for an early checkup. You should not cut the wire, remove appliances, or adjust brackets at home, as this may alter the orthodontic force and cause the teeth to move differently from what the dentist has planned.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29443 size-full\" title=\"T\u00e1i kh\u00e1m \u0111\u00fang h\u1eb9n v\u00e0 tu\u00e2n th\u1ee7 h\u01b0\u1edbng d\u1eabn
