Months 2-6
Exciting progress! Monthly photos show dramatic improvements. For aligner patients, you’re changing trays every 2-3 weeks. Braces patients visit for adjustments. Remote monitoring lets your Latin American orthodontist track progress from home. Friends start noticing your improving smile!
Final Results
After 12-24 months (depending on your case), treatment is complete! Braces come off or you finish your last aligner. Your new smile is revealed – straight, beautiful, and confidence-boosting.
