Orthodontics can fulfil your dream of a straight and aligned smile. But it’s not just the job of your orthodontic consultant to get you that perfect smile, you also play a part. If you don’t take care of your teeth and braces properly, you could slow down the progress of your new smile. Neglecting good oral care could lead to yellow teeth, tooth decay, and even crooked teeth - meaning your braces will have to stay on longer.
Orthodontic treatment is a life changing process that can not only alter your physical appearance but it also has a bunch of health positives too. Straight teeth and correct jaw alignment can allow for better chewing and digestion of food while also easing pressure on your teeth, gums and jaw muscles.
When it comes to orthodontic treatment and looking after your brace appliance, it’s not just your orthodontist’s responsibility. That being said, it’s not just yours either. If you want your treatment to succeed, then it’s time to start working collaboratively.
In this blog, we’ll be discussing who needs to be taking care of what so you can ensure your treatment goes as planned.
