Call your dentist immediately so they can get started making a replacement set of aligners for you. In the meantime, your dentist may tell you to wear the previous set of aligners. Alternatively, you may be told to move onto the next set, depending on what stage you are in your treatment.
Yes, you will need to wear retainers whether you have worn braces or clear aligners. Teeth tend to want to shift back to their original location after active orthodontic treatment. Price Family Orthodontics can discuss all of your options with you and determine which one best suits your needs.
Most patients need to come in every four to eight weeks for Price Family Orthodontics to check up on their progress. These visits may include adjustments to the braces. These appointments typically take 20 to 40 minutes.
Most patients do not experience pain with braces. However, it is not uncommon to feel some discomfort when first getting braces or having your braces tightened or adjusted. If your braces are causing you considerable pain, call us right away.
Since braces can make it difficult to maintain your oral hygiene routine, we recommend brushing your teeth more often than you did before. In general, four times a day should be adequate: after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner, and before bed. Floss threaders or interdental brushes are recommended for cleaning in between teeth.
