Tips for Getting the Most From Treatment in Steel Bank
- 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.

- Start wearing retainers immediately — the most important single factor in protecting your result long-term.
