This is not our patient. She had her braces placed in Boracay 7 years ago, and her last adjustment was already 3 years ago.
She came to our clinic with severely compromised anterior teeth and poor orthodontic condition due to prolonged lack of proper follow-up.

Regular monthly adjustments and proper orthodontic supervision are essential. Full patient compliance is not optionalโit is a critical part of successful treatment.
