@huzorthodontics: We love answering your orthodontic questions! We’d like to think we’re “yes” people around here 🙌 And while we wish we could always say yes… sometimes the answer is still no. Can I stop wearing my retainer? Not quite! Can I skip my elastics and still get the same result? We wish! Can I eat absolutely anything with braces? Unfortunately, not everything! We know some of the “rules” aren’t always the most fun, but they’re there for a reason! Following your orthodontic plan helps keep treatment on track, makes the process smoother, and gets you closer to that smile you’ve been working toward. 💚
