Aftercare following orthodontic treatment is crucial to ensure the success and longevity of the results achieved. Whether you have just completed a course of braces or Invisalign, proper aftercare habits are essential for maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile.
Retainers are often prescribed after the removal of braces to help prevent the teeth from shifting back to their original positions. It's essential to wear retainers as directed by your orthodontist. Initially, you may need to wear them all the time, and then the instructions may shift to nighttime-only wear. Follow these instructions diligently to maintain the alignment achieved during treatment.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is critical post-orthodontic treatment. Continue to brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss regularly.
Schedule regular checkups with your dentist and follow-up appointments with your orthodontist as recommended. These appointments are essential to monitor the stability of your teeth and the effectiveness of the retention plan.
