Just like any other treatment procedures, orthodontics treatment needs your cooperation. It is very important to keep regular appointments, and to follow doctor’s instructions. Please avoid hard or sticky foods that will cause breakage. The gums and teeth must be kept clean to avoid cavities and permanent damage. Instructions for elastics and other appliances must be followed. Any of mentioned subjects may cause a delay in treatment. Delay in treatment will cost the patients more time and more importantly, more money.
