Tips for Getting the Most From Treatment in Bodachra
- Attend all appointments — missing adjustment appointments extends treatment and can affect the outcome.

- 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.
