Making Treatment Go Smoothly in Hallthwaites
- Don't skip adjustment visits — each one keeps the plan on schedule; missing them just adds time later.
- Step up your cleaning routine — brackets and wires trap plaque, so interdental brushes and fluoride mouthwash matter more than usual.

- Retainers start the moment treatment ends — this is the single biggest factor in whether the result actually lasts.
