Once the list is completed, the treatment planning process begins with prioritised treatment objectives discussed with the patient. Orthodontists are trained to provide treatments to prevent or reduce the severity of developing malocclusions by maintaining the quality of an otherwise healthy developing oral structure. Orthodontic records are essential tools that orthodontists use to assess, plan, and track treatment. These help orthodontists understand how the upper and lower teeth come together. They are critical for planning how to correct misaligned bites. These records are vital for diagnosis, developing a personalised treatment plan, and monitoring progress throughout orthodontic care.

Impressions (or 3D digital scans) create a model of the teeth and gums, allowing orthodontists to study the alignment, spacing, and bite. They are essential for treatment planning and designing custom appliances like braces or aligners.

X-rays show the position of teeth, roots, and jawbones, including areas not visible in a regular examination. Panoramic X-rays provide a full view of the teeth and jaw, while cephalometric X-rays help analyse jaw alignment and facial structure.

Bite records (occlusal records) are important because they show dentists exactly how your upper and lower teeth come together, helping to identify any misalignments or functional issues. They provide a precise guide for treatments such as braces, crowns, or dentures, ensuring a comfortable bite, long-term stability, and natural function.
