Your Orthodontic Treatment Guide in Saxlingham Green

Tips for Getting the Most From Treatment in Saxlingham Green
- 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.
