Take Care of your Appliances

Damaged appliances can increase the length of your treatment process, so be sure to take care of all your appliances by being careful what you eat (no hard, sticky and chewy foods) and how you eat it (chewing carefully). Your teeth and jaw can only move into their correct positions if you consistently wear the rubber bands, headgear, or other appliances prescribed by your orthodontist and if your appliances are not damaged.
