Helpful guidance for caring for your smile between visits, whether you are in braces, aligners, or wearing a retainer.

Comfort after an adjustment

Some soreness after braces are placed or adjusted is normal and usually eases within a few days. Soft foods and good oral hygiene help you stay comfortable.

Caring for aligners and retainers

Keep aligners and retainers clean, store them in their case when not in use, and keep them away from heat. If an appliance is lost or damaged, call us so we can replace it before your teeth shift.

When to call the office

If you have a loose bracket, a poking wire, lost an appliance, or simply have a question, reach out at (561) 566-7111. We would rather hear from you early than have you wait. For day-to-day tips, visit life with braces.

Start with a free consultation

Tell us about your smile and we will find the earliest opening. Call the office or request a time and the front desk takes care of the rest.
