While we can give you precise and custom treatment plans to suit your needs, we do need for you to take care of your braces, Invisalign, appliances, and retainers to ensure that your oral health is maintained during and after the treatment process. Below you will find some information to help keep your appliances clean and properly maintained, as well as keep your beautiful smile nice and healthy for many years to come:
While having braces may pose a few extra challenges in keeping your teeth and gums clean, follow these simple guidelines and you will experience less difficulty during your treatment with braces.
Follow these simple guidelines for using your palatal expander, and there will be enough room for your teeth to shift into the right places before you know it!
Separators are simple and easy to install, and will help considerably in giving your teeth enough room to move. Just follow these instructions and your teeth will be looking good!
We recommend Invisalign Vivera retainers because they are comfortable, nearly invisible, and very effective at retention when worn as directed. They can also be ordered in multiple sets so that you will always have a backup! We also have alternative types of retainers to choose from. We will answer any of your questions when choosing the right appliance for your retention stage.
Wearing and caring for your retainers is just as important as taking care of your Invisalign or braces during treatment. Follow these guidelines and your retainers will last longer!
Invisalign/Vivera retainers are removable retainers made out of clear plastic. They can be used in both the upper and lower arches. On average, these retainers last 1-2 years before needing replacement if well cared for.
Bonded retainers can be more convenient and reliable than removable retainers, but they will require a lot of extra care. Follow these guidelines to ensure that your oral hygiene is maintained during your retention stage.
At our Springfield NJ Orthodontics Office, you can expect ethical and honest care. Dr. Hummert thoroughly explains all orthodontic treatment options using Invisalign, Braces, and other appliances so you can make an informed decision.
