Life After Braces

Instructions To Follow Post-Braces

- Continue brushing and flossing regularly, paying special attention to areas previously obscured by braces.
- Don't forget to incorporate mouthwash into your routine for comprehensive care.
- While you're free to enjoy a wider variety of foods without braces, be mindful of certain items that could impact your teeth or retainers.
- We'll provide you with a list of foods to approach with caution and those to avoid altogether.
Retainer: Care and Maintenance
Retainers play a vital role in preserving the results of your orthodontic treatment. Your orthodontist will prescribe the type (removable or fixed) and advise on wearing schedules. Consistent use of retainers is key to ensuring your smile stays perfect.
Your retainer is essential for maintaining your beautiful smile. Here’s how to care for it properly:
- Clean your retainer daily with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or toothpaste to prevent the buildup of bacteria and odors.
- Handle your retainer with care to avoid damage. Never boil, microwave, or expose it to hot water or harsh chemicals.
Regular follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor the stability of your new smile. These visits give us the opportunity to address any concerns and track your progress.
