There are not many other feelings in the world that come close to the happiness of completing your orthodontic treatment. You will look into the mirror and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that investing in an orthodontic treatment at Sequence Orthodontics was one of the best choices you could have made yourself. Not only does a fresh bright smile change the way you look, it will increase your confidence in ways you never even thought possible. Annie used to sing, “you’re never fully dressed without a smile”, and you are going to find that she is right. Your confidence that stems from your new smile is undoubtedly going to help your lifestyle both personally and professionally.
Once you are free of your braces, your instinct might be to forget about your orthodontic treatment and bask in this new freedom of being about to eat whatever you want and not worry about the maintenance of your teeth. You do not want to make this mistake, because it could place you right back where you were before you had braces. See, once you complete your treatment, your teeth are naturally going to want to go back to the position they were before your treatment. You will prevent this from happening by wearing the retainer provided by Sequence Orthodontics exactly as you are directed.
The first few years following the removal of braces are the most crucial for keeping up with your retainer. The exact instructions will vary from patient to patient, but eventually you will be able to wear it only at nighttime or just a few times during the week. It is really simple to make sure you are wearing it as instructed, but it is important to remember that if you do not follow the protocol you run the risk of your teeth shifting back and undoing all of the treatment. Remember that the confidence you feel when you smile will be worth all of the effort you put into your retainer use.
Congratulations on your new smile. You will find that this newfound smile will change your life in the best way, but it is important to remember that your orthodontic treatment is still not over. Wear your retainer as you are instructed to ensure that all of the time and finances that you invested into building your perfect smile pays off!
