Tips for Getting the Most From Treatment in Auchenback
- 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.
