Tips for Getting the Most From Treatment in Allonby

  • Attend all appointments — missing adjustment appointments extends treatment and can affect the outcome.

  • For aligner patients: wear your trays — 20–22 hours per day is non-negotiable for achieving the planned result.
  • Contact your practice promptly if something breaks — a detached bracket or broken wire delays treatment. Call the same day.
  • Start wearing retainers immediately — the most important single factor in protecting your result long-term.
