COLD WEATHER AND APPLIANCES

January 15th, 2025

Winter activities make the cold weather season pass with a smile! Be sure to keep warm this Minnesota season and keep those retainers safe in their cases when not wearing them. They can get lost in the pockets of coats, snow pants and all the gear bags! Leaving aligners or retainers in cold vehicles can also make them brittle and more likely to break.

A beautiful smile is also a healthy smile! The first orthodontic visit is recommended between 7 and 9 years old. This initial assessment of crowding, symmetry and arch form is very valuable in planning ahead for better results and likely easier treatment. Although not everyone benefits from a phase I orthodontics treatment plan, an initial baseline can be very valuable to the overall orthodontic plan. And with methods, procedures with braces and clear aligners like Invisalign, there are many options to learn about.
