In orthodontics, it is very important that patients closely follow the instructions of their orthodontist. Oftentimes the end result is a direct reflection of how well patients follow these instructions. Therefore, anyone contemplating orthodontic treatment should be aware of the importance of good oral hygiene and the types of food to avoid while they are in treatment. In addition, orthodontic patients should utilize all information available to them such as instructional videos and always ask questions to be sure that they understand all phases of their treatment.
