Congratulations!: Wow...getting your braces off. During orthodontic treatment, your orthodontist did everything possible to give you a beautiful smile, functional bite and long-term results. Now it is your responsibility to wear your retainers as indicated by your orthodontist to ensure that your teeth remain straight and to keep your beautiful new smile for a lifetime!

Expectations: If you are concerned, talk to your specialist Orthodontist or treating General Dentist before your "debunk" appointment. There may be physiologic reasons preventing the movements you desire. That's why we recommend that you see a specialist rather than a generalist, someone who can better treat the intractable cases. You may need more treatment. Be sure to wear your retainers faithfully.
