Celebrating a New Smile
There is nothing quite like the feeling of finishing your orthodontic treatment and seeing your brand-new smile in the mirror. Recently, Dr Marina shared a special moment with her patient, Daniela. Daniela had just completed her Invisalign journey and came into our Narre Warren clinic for one of the most important appointments of the entire process: her retainer insert.
Locking in Your Results
Many people think that once the braces come off or the last aligner is worn, the journey is over. However, the retention phase is where the long-term success happens. Dr Marina fitted Daniela with her custom-made retainer, a clear and comfortable device designed to stop her teeth from moving. By wearing this as directed, Daniela ensures that the time and effort she put into straightening her teeth will not go to waste.
Simple Long-Term Maintenance
The best part about this stage is how easy the maintenance becomes. Now that Daniela has her retainer, she does not need to visit us as frequently for adjustments. In fact, her next visit will simply be her routine 6-monthly check-up and clean. During that appointment, she will bring her retainer along so Dr Marina can check it and make sure it is still fitting perfectly and keeping her smile aligned.
