Taking care of your braces
At Peak Orthodontics, we’re with you every step of the way and that includes helping you take care of your braces. After your braces are placed on your teeth, our team will take the time to show you how to keep your teeth and braces sparkling clean. We’ll talk about which foods to avoid during treatment, what to do if a bracket pops off and how to make your mouth feel more comfortable with those newly placed brackets.
Will I need elastics with my braces?
EVERYONE’S TREATMENT PLAN IS UNIQUELY CRAFTED TO ACHIEVE THE BEST RESULT
Whether you need elastics during your orthodontic treatment will depend on how your upper and lower teeth fit with one another (this is called the ‘bite’). It’s important to get your bite in the correct position for aesthetics, comfort and to avoid future wear and tear of your teeth.
The ideal bite is called a “Class 1” and most often Dr John Perry is aiming to achieve this position during orthodontic treatment. In severe Class 2 or Class 3 bites, complex intervention may be required to achieve ideal facial aesthetics depending on growth and biological factors.
Free Teeth Whitening for our adult patients
