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.

My 14 year old son just got his braces off. His teeth and smile look amazing. I could not be more happy. I have nothing but good things to say about our experience with Journey Orthodontics. Dr. Hohlen has done a wonderful job. The staff are always friendly and helpful. I look forward to working with them in the future when my younger children need orthodontic care.

Love how nice they are from the time you come in to the time we leave. We weren't sure braces would be affordable but they had lots of payment options that worked for us without taking a credit account. Coffee, tea and cocoa are available in the lobby! Our son gets to pick or custom his braces band colors each visit which makes it fun for him to look forward to each visit. All of the staff are so hospitalble and make sure you are taught how to take care of the hardware. If we could rate them higher we would.

We had an orthodontic emergency and Dr. Brian and his staff were amazing! We live in Dallas, Texas and were in the Yankton area visiting family over spring break. We called needing an emergency visit. Not only were they able to squeeze us in right away, they addressed our issue and gave us what we needed to enjoy the rest of our spring break and get my kiddo home to our orthodontist in Texas. Everyone was so nice. If we lived here, this is where I would bring my family.
