What to Expect at Your Free Consultation
Your First Step: Getting to Know You
We’ll begin by welcoming you to our practice and talking about what brought you in.

Appliance Care
How To Best Take Care of Your Appliances?
Orthodontic appliances – whether braces, Invisalign, or retainers – are key to achieving the smile you’ve always wanted. Proper care of these appliances is essential to keep your treatment on track, maintain your oral health, and prevent unnecessary damage.
At Taunton Orthodontics, we’re here to guide you on how to take the best possible care of your appliances. From cleaning techniques to tips for avoiding damage, following these guidelines will make your orthodontic journey smoother and more comfortable.
With the right care, your appliances will perform as they should, helping you achieve a healthy, confident smile. If you ever have questions or concerns, our team is just a call away.
Foods like gum, caramel, or hard candies can damage braces or get stuck in aligners. Stick to orthodontist-approved snacks to keep your appliances in great shape.
If something feels wrong – like a loose bracket, lost aligner, or poking wire – take a moment to assess the severity of the issue. Minor discomforts can often be managed at home temporarily.
For loose brackets, gently place orthodontic wax over the area to stabilize it. For poking wires, use a cotton swab or pencil eraser to push the wire into a more comfortable position.
If at any time you have questions or concerns about your appliances please don’t hesitate to give our office a call or send us a text.. We are here to help!
