Theres one thing Journey Orthodontics assistants never tire of: seeing the confidence their patients gain as their smiles get more beautiful and healthy. But that isnt even the best part of their jobs. Its getting to know each patient personally. This team of professionals is as invested as you are in transforming your smile.
Its more important than ever to brush and floss regularly when you have braces, so the teeth and gums are healthy during orthodontic treatment. Patients who do not keep their teeth clean may require more frequent visits to the dentist for a professional cleaning. Adults who have a history of gum disease should also see a periodontist during orthodontic treatment. Watch the two videos below on the proper care of braces during orthodontic treatment.
What can you eat? Lets talk about what you shouldnt eat! For the first day or so, stick to soft foods. Avoid tough meats, hard breads, and raw vegetables. Before long, youll be able to bite a cucumber again. But youll need to protect your orthodontic appliances when you eat for as long as youre wearing braces.
When you get your braces on, you may feel general soreness in your mouth and teeth may be tender to biting pressures for 3 5 days. Take Tylenol or whatever you normally take for headache or discomfort. The lips, cheeks and tongue may also become irritated for one to two weeks as they toughen and become accustomed to the braces. We will supply wax to put on the braces in irritated areas to lessen discomfort.
To successfully complete orthodontic treatment, the patient must work together with the orthodontist. The teeth and jaws can only move toward their corrected positions if the patient consistently wears the rubber bands or other appliances as prescribed. Lack of cooperation following instructions and damaged appliances lengthen the treatment time so please follow instructions.

Dr. Wenande and his entire team have been wonderful. My oldest had her braces removed earlier this month and I have another in braces now. The results have been amazing. Both had impacted canines which required different treatment options for each. I was amazed at how quickly the impacted teeth were exposed and brought into proper alignment. I highly recommend Dr. Wenande. Such a warm and inviting experience from the first day to the last day.

Our experience with Dr. Crist was wonderful. We are just in the beginning stages of the braces but so far the experience has been wonderful. They explain what they are doing and bring it down to a level that my daughter was able to understand. They truly care and are very respectful. They are wonderful to work with and I would recommend them if you needed and orthodontist.
