🎉 Braces are off—now what?
Your teeth may feel a little sensitive or different at first, but the most important next step is wearing your retainer as directed. Retainers help keep your teeth from shifting and protect the smile you worked so hard to achieve.

Keep brushing, flossing, attending follow-up visits, and taking care of that new smile! 😁✨
