Tips and tricks for
a smooth journey.

  • If you’re wearing braces, avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods like popcorn, gum, caramel, and crunchy chips. Soft foods are your best option. If you’re using clear aligners, you can eat whatever you’d like—just remember to remove your trays before eating and brush before putting them back in.

  • Give us a call and we’ll walk you through what to do next. In most cases, we can schedule a quick fix or offer a temporary solution until your next visit.

  • You should brush after every meal and floss at least once a day during treatment.

  • If you've misplaced your aligner or retainer, give us a call right away. We’ll schedule a time for you to come in so we can take new scans and get a replacement made.

We want to provide all the information you need to make your braces experience easy and fun. Check out some our most frequently asked questions below. If your question isn’t covered, don’t hesitate to give us a call.
