TAKING YOUR BRACES AND SMILE ON SUMMER VACATION?

WE’VE GOT TIPS TO GET YOU PREPARED!

Dental Wax-

In case anything becomes loose or “pokey”, wax can often be applied to ease the discomfort until you are back in town and can come in to see us.

Floss-

You’ll want to keep your gums healthy by not breaking the daily flossing routine. Also, floss is handy to have on hand for some of our summer favorite foods like strawberries! You sure don’t want to flash your sparkly smile with seeds stuck in between your teeth and braces!

Rubber Bands-

Whether you’ve just started correcting your bite with rubberbands or are closing in on the home stretch of treatment and fine-tuning your bite with them, TAKE THEM & WEAR THEM. Not wearing rubberbands, or appliances as instructed may slow your orthodontic treatment.

Retainer(s)-

You’ll need to take your retainers on vacation to keep your teeth from moving. Always remember to put it away safely in a retainer case when not wearing.
