What to Expect During Treatment

Your journey with metal braces begins with a custom treatment plan created by Dr. Pandolfo. Brackets are bonded to each tooth and connected with an archwire that is gradually adjusted over time to move your teeth into alignment.

Regular visits allow us to monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments. Throughout your treatment, our team is here to support you with expert care and guidance.
