Sandton | Precision Orthodontics | Post Treatment Care

Stability is of utmost importance and Dr J will have the patient follow a proper retention programme when removing the orthodontic brackets.

Immediately after the appliance removal the teeth are particularly prone to relapse (a tendency to return to their former positions), and Dr J may require the patient to wear a removable retainer for the first 3 months, where after the patient is weaned off it.

In the lower arch a fixed bonded retainer (wire) may be bonded to the inside of the front teeth and may be left until a period of stability has been reached and growth has stabilized (normally 18 – 21 years of age or a minimum of 2 years if treatment started after 18 year of age).

This protocol varies from patient to patient, and sometimes see-thru aligners (or other retainers) may be used.

Dear Dr J and team. Thank you for creating a perfect smile and bite. And that after 41 years. I dreaded orthodontic treatment, being an adult and all, but you made the process comfortable and worthwhile.

I just wanted to let you all know I’m engaged to the first guy I kissed with braces! I hope I’m a good story for all the adults who are hesitant about getting braces. Life changing I tell you.
