final adjustment

congrats! you are about to get your braces off!

We would like to answer some of the frequently asked questions by patients and parents.  

How long should my appointment take to  get my braces off? 

Your appointment will take approximately 2 hours. This time includes removing your braces, making your retainers, final x-rays, and pictures.

Should I get an appointment with my  dentist for a cleaning and check-up? 

White marks like these on teeth are the result of decalcification, and are permanent. If you don’t remove the plaque that collects around brackets, between teeth and under the gums, decalcification can be evident within four months.

Can I bleach my teeth once the braces come off?

Depending on which retainer and bleaching program you selected during your initial consultation, or during treatment, we will provide instructions on bleaching your teeth on the day your braces are removed.

If you have any problems between today and the appointment to  remove your braces, please contact our office immediately
