Patient compliance during treatment

Congratulations on choosing to invest in orthodontic treatment! You’re on your way to achieving the smile you’ve always wanted. While our dedicated clinicians will handle most of the hard work here at the Practice, your commitment as a patient is key to ensuring a successful outcome. In our latest blog post, our Lead Treatment Coordinator, Kayleigh, shares how you can contribute to the process.

Book an appointment

Attending appointments:

Attending your scheduled visits for adjustments and progress checks is crucial for the success of your treatment. If you’re unable to make an appointment, please give us as much notice as possible so we can help you reschedule.

Maintaining Good Oral Hygiene:

During orthodontic treatment, it’s crucial to keep your teeth and gums as clean as possible to help prevent cavities and gum disease. This involves brushing your teeth after every meal and if possible, flossing daily. Depending on your treatment type, using interdental brushes instead of dental floss can also be helpful. You certainly don’t want to finish your treatment only to discover issues with your teeth! Regular visits to your dentist and hygienist can ensure your oral health stays in top shape.
