It’s hard to believe that school is starting soon! If your kids are on their way to school this year with braces and/or appliances, please remember to pack them with the necessities needed to ensure a braces-friendly day of school. As always, we’ve prepared some tips!
1) Keep Up Your Cleaning Routine – The only way to ensure that teeth will remain healthy and beautiful is to follow a good cleaning routine. You should be brushing after each meal. This will remove any food on and around your braces and help to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Dr. Gilbert, Dr. Wells and Dr. Parsons say that regular cleanings at your dentist office are important as well.
Make sure your child has:
* an extra toothbrush
* floss & floss threader
* toothpaste
* wax
* retainer or appliance case
2) Visit SmilesForever Orthodontics – If you have already begun treatment, make sure you stop into one of our Duluth, Dacula, Flowery Branch or Loganville, GA offices so we may check on your progress before the year begins. This is also a great time to do your back to school shopping. Your smile is your BEST accessory and your braces colors can be coordinated with your new wardrobe! As extra curricular activities start back up, along with the new school year, it's a good idea to plan your orthodontic appointments ahead. With our four locations, most appointments can be scheduled around your activities quite easily.
3) Learn More About Your Options – If you have not yet started treatment with SmilesForever Orthodontics, now is the time. Contact our office to schedule your first appointment. Dr. Gilbert, Dr. Wells or Dr. Parsons will discuss with you the different options available to you. These include both traditional metal braces and Invisalign systems. The SmilesForever Orthodontics team will then help you to formulate a treatment plan that fits your cosmetic goals, lifestyle, and budget.
The start of a new school year in Georgia is also the start of a new you. Brighten up your life by finally achieving a perfect smile, with help from SmilesForever Orthodontics. Contact us to learn more about your treatment options.
