  1. Keep Your Schedule Appointments:
    Let's get your treatment done on time. You are in control and you can achieve this by not missing or canceling appointment. We can not do our job if you are not here and that may delay your progress or interrupt your treatment plan.
  2. Keep Good Eating Habits:
    Good eating habits are important to your treatment and will allow the braces to work the best they can by reducing damage (like bending wires, loose bands, or brackets) if you avoid eating hard and sticky foods as well as foods high in sugar content (soda). Also, try to avoid bad habits like nail biting, chewing pencils etc.
  3. BRUSH, BRUSH, BRUSH, and RINSE, RINSE, RINSE:
