What is Orthodontic Maintenance?
Why is Consistent Care So Important?
Take Care of Your Investment
You invested time and money in your straight smile. If you wear your retainer regularly as instructed, it will make that effort last a lifetime.
Prevent Movement
The orthodontic retainer prevents teeth from moving out of their place or position by acting as a barrier.
Better Oral Health
Having straight teeth makes it easier to brush and floss your teeth, which means you will have less chance of decay and gum disease.
Tips for Orthodontic Care at Home
Brush after every meal using a soft-bristle toothbrush.
Floss with special orthodontic floss or floss threaders daily.
Avoid sticky or hard foods like gum, popcorn, and nuts.
Use mouthwash to reduce bacteria.
