Tips for Getting the Most From Treatment in Bobblestock

• Attend all appointments — missing adjustment appointments extends treatment and can affect the outcome.
• Keep teeth clean — orthodontic treatment makes cleaning harder. Use interdental brushes and fluoride mouthwash daily.
• 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.
