Regular dental checkups every six months are crucial, even more so for patients with braces. These appointments allow your dentist to conduct thorough cleanings, removing plaque and tartar buildup that can be challenging to address at home, especially around the brackets and wires of braces. Regular checkups provide an opportunity for your dentist to detect and treat any potential issues early on. For patients with braces, these visits are also a chance for the specialists at NuSmile Dental & Orthodontics to monitor the progress of the treatment, make any necessary adjustments to the braces, and provide valuable advice on maintaining oral hygiene with braces.
