Are you almost done with your orthodontic treatment? Whether you\u2019ve been wearing your metal brackets and wires for a couple of months or a few years, you\u2019ve likely been dreaming of the day that you get to see your new and improved smile up-close and personal. Since braces are a tried-and-true treatment, the results are sure to be dazzling. But what happens after you\u2019re done? It\u2019s a question many patients have. Here\u2019s a glimpse into what you can expect from life after braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1. Your Smile Will Look Different<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This one may seem obvious. With that being said, many patients are truly floored at just how different their smile looks, especially if they\u2019ve only known a life with crooked, spaced-out, or otherwise misaligned teeth. A perfectly aligned arch of teeth will transform your grin in ways you never thought possible \u2013 you\u2019re going to want to show off your new grin any chance you can!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. You Can Enjoy All Your Favorite Foods Again<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Metal brackets and wires are durable, but not indestructible. As a result, you have to avoid corn on the cob, peanut brittle, and other crunchy foods during your treatment. Luckily, once your braces are off, you can indulge in all of your favorite foods again! Just be sure to stick to softer foods at first. Remember, your teeth are used to having constant tension placed on them, so it\u2019s natural to feel some sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Cleaning Your Teeth Will Be Much Easier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With braces, essential oral hygiene habits, like flossing, can be a bit of a chore. Once your braces are off, however, you\u2019ll be able to brush and floss hassle-free again! Preserving your beautiful smiles starts with healthy teeth, so maintain the best practices you\u2019ve been implementing, like brushing after each meal and visiting your dentist biannually for a checkup and cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. Wear Your Retainer As Much As Possible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Braces have the ability to correct all kinds of orthodontic issues, from small gaps to severe crowding. Nevertheless, keeping your teeth in their perfectly aligned positions is up to you. To prevent orthodontic relapse, you\u2019ll be given a retainer<\/a>. This appliance may be small, but it can effectively keep your teeth in place as they \u201cset.\u201d Usually, you\u2019ll be asked to wear it for 20-22 hours a day for the first six months and then slowly transition to wearing it only at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completing your orthodontic treatment is beyond exciting. Just be sure to continue to care for your smile to keep it happy, beautiful, and straight throughout the years. That way, your future has a wonderful smile to match!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
