How to Keep Your Smile Beautiful After Orthodontics<\/h2>\n

Upon the removal of your braces, we will begin the retention phase of your treatment. You should wear your retainers for 20 hours a day for the first 4 months. After that, you will only wear them at night. Retention is for the rest of your life.\u00a0 Your final orthodontic result depends on your retainers, so follow through with the hard work you\u2019ve put in so far. Remember to remove your retainer before brushing, and brush your retainer before placing it back in your mouth.<\/p>\n
