FIRST DAYS IN BRACES



BRACES CARE DURING TREATMENT


RETENTION


The retention period of your orthodontic care begins once your braces have been removed.  For your orthodontic treatment to be successful, it is important that you understand that this part of your treatment is just as important as the period when your braces were actively moving your teeth. Now that the teeth have been moved into the desired position, a period of time is necessary to stabilize the teeth and allow the soft tissues and bone to adjust to the new tooth alignment.


A Word about Final Records:

Once the active phase of your treatment is completed, we will be recommending that a set of x-rays and photographs of your teeth be taken. These images will help evaluate your treatment, plan the retention period and also help determine the position of any wisdom teeth and their impact on your orthodontic care.

Congratulations! You are brace free!!!! Make sure to show off your beautiful Jennifer smile!
