Back to School Tips
With the start of a new school year comes new routines and new schedules. Its easy at this time to let care for your orthodontic appliances lapse. Here are few tips to help keep your treatment in order to achieve that marvelous smile transformation!
As you pack your back to school bag don’t forget to include a toothbrush and toothpaste so that you can brush after school lunch. Keeping brackets and wires free of plaque and food debris will lead to faster tooth movement and faster results.
If you are wearing rubberbands for treatment this is a great time to stop by Meyer Orthodontics and pick up an extra bag of elastics. Its best to keep an extra bag in your locker or pencil bag as needed to change out the elastics throughout the school day.
If you are in active clear aligner therapy its important to have an extra aligner case that you can bring to school. It’s so easy to accidently throw away aligners on a lunch tray so you want to make sure you have a case to put the aligners in during the lunch hour. If you need an extra case stop by Meyer Orthodontics and pick out a fun color!
