We want you to love your smile and have healthy teeth at the end of your orthodontic experience!

Home Care: Love Your Teeth!

  • We want you to love your smile and have healthy teeth at the end of your orthodontic experience. Excellent homecare - including regular brushing and flossing - is essential to keeping your teeth and gums healthy throughout your orthodontic treatment.

  • Clean teeth without broken appliances allows for more efficient treatment which means you’ll get the smile you’ll love, sooner.

  • We’ll provide coaching during your orthodontic visits to help keep you on track.

  • You should also maintain regular cleanings with your dentist.

Emergency Care: We’re Here to Help!

  • Happily, true orthodontic emergencies are rare. Broken brackets or attachments, pokey wires, loose retainers, and ill-fitting aligners are often not emergencies and can be addressed during normal business hours.

  • Many minor issues can be temporarily addressed by adults with easy at-home techniques.

  • Once you’re comfortable, call (603.868.1919) or text (603.828.6836) us to schedule an appointment to repair the issue.

  • As a general rule, if it’s after hours and you’re uncomfortable or concerned, call or text us; we want you to be comfortable! Definitely call our office if you experience severe pain, swelling, or bleeding.
