At Ortega Orthodontics we love to share in the experience when our patients get their braces off and see the smile they\u2019ve always wanted. While braces are a major component of orthodontics, they\u2019re certainly not the only component. When it comes to your smile, your retainer<\/a> is your best friend.<\/p>\n

After your braces are removed, your orthodontist in Jacksonville will fabricate a retainer for you to wear for as long as possible. When cared for, these appliances can last you for a lifetime, ensuring a long lasting smile. Your retainer should be properly stored in its case at all times when not in\u00a0your mouth.\u00a0Keep the retainer in a safe location, hidden\u00a0away from pets and children.\u00a0Wearing your retainer more often actually protects it from these everyday threats.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re just getting your braces on, on or you\u2019re just getting your braces off, we\u2019re excited for your new smile! Contact your orthodontist in Jacksonville<\/a>\u00a0today with any questions about wearing or storing your braces. We look forward to helping you achieve a lifelong healthy smile!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
