How often should I visit my dentist while in Orthodontic Treatment?

It's important to continue visiting your dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings while you are undergoing orthodontic treatment. It is generally recommended to see your dentist every six months, or more frequently if advised. During these check-ups, your dentist will monitor your oral health and address any potential issues, such as tooth decay or gum disease. They will also clean your teeth and remove any plaque or tartar buildup, which can be more challenging to manage with braces or other orthodontic appliances. In addition, it’s essential to maintain good oral hygiene at home by brushing your teeth after every meal and flossing daily.
