Orland Park Orthodontics
Orland Park, IL – Orthodontic treatment requires a commitment to both alignment and overall oral health. Regular dental visits are essential to complement your orthodontic care.
“While we focus on aligning your teeth, your dentist ensures your overall oral health,” says Dr. Ayas Makki. “Regular dental check-ups are crucial for maintaining a healthy mouth during orthodontic treatment.”
Reasons to Continue Visiting Your Dentist:
1. Regular Cleanings: Brackets and wires create areas where food and plaque can accumulate, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Regular cleanings help prevent plaque buildup and maintain oral health.
2. Prevent Treatment Delays: Neglecting dental care can lead to problems that may prolong your orthodontic treatment. Keeping your teeth healthy ensures your treatment remains on schedule.
3. Comprehensive Care: While orthodontists focus on alignment, dentists address overall oral health concerns. Regular visits help manage any issues like cavities or gum disease that could impact your treatment.
Maintain both orthodontic and dental appointments for optimal results. For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact Orland Park Orthodontics
