Now that you have that Big, Beautiful Smile, we want to make sure you keep it!
So now that you’ve completed your orthodontic treatment and your wisdom teeth have been taken out, how do you maintain that winning smile? Right after treatment is completed, your Orthodontist will recommend that you wear your retainers 24 hours a day and gradually step down the amount time you need to wear them. Many people do not realize that without the benefit of retainers to “tell the teeth where to stay” they may relapse back toward their original position. One of the best ways to keep that winning smile that we recommend is that you wear your retainer several nights a week for life. If you put your retainer in after not wearing it for a while and it is snug, we recommend that you wear every night for a few weeks until the teeth move back into place. Going too long without wearing a retainer may require either a new retainer be made or more orthodontics to correct the relapse.A kid-friendly dentist treats oral health concerns in children.
