This will depend on the treatment option you choose. First, if you choose bracket and wire braces, you’ll need to not only pay attention to your oral hygiene, but also your diet. Avoid anything hard, sticky, chewy, or crunchy. If you have clear aligners, you’ll need to be sure you always remove them before eating and drinking anything but plain water. You’ll also have to maintain regular appointments with our office so we can monitor your progress, and so that we can continue to monitor the health of your smile. Don’t forget to also keep your regular dental appointments. We’ll do our best to work with your schedule to help you keep appointments at times that can easily fit into your busy life. Once your treatment is completed, the impact on your life will be immeasurable. We love seeing how confident our patients are when they see their new smiles!
