Congratulations on completing your Orthodontic Treatment!

Congratulations!!! You have completed the active phase of your Orthodontic Treatment.

 You have most recently completed the active phase of Orthodontic treatment and will now be entering the retention phase. The importance of the retention phase cannot be understated. Retention is a key factor in orthodontic treatment to ensure your orthodontic results are maintained long-term and your teeth and bite remain healthy and even improve for the better.

 You will soon be receiving your final retainers and during that appointment we will review with you exactly how your retainers are to be worn. Your retainers will help ensure you achieve the most optimal results with your orthodontic treatment.

 In the mean time, we would appreciate it if you can work diligently on your hygiene. That means lots of brushing, flossing and warm salt water rinses if you need it :) This will ensure your gums are healthy, and healthy gums mean more stable orthodontic results.

It is also a good time to get a dental check-up if you have not had one recently. This way you can be assured there is not any outstanding dental treatment, just in case your hygiene was not ideal during your orthodontic treatment.

Also, now is the perfect time to consider teeth whitening or any cosmetic procedures that you may be interested in. Ask our office how we can help!

*Warm salt water rinses should be done with a teaspoon of salt in a full glass of warm water. Swish and spit for 30 seconds after brushing and flossing.
