In addition to ensuring your child’s appliance is being worn correctly, you’ll need to also prevent your child from consuming foods that could damage the appliance. If your child’s appliance is removable, you’ll need to clean it regularly and store it according to your orthodontist’s instructions. If your child damages or loses their appliance, be sure to contact our office right away so we can either fix the appliance or recommend a new one. This will ensure your child stays on track with their treatment plan and timeline.
