5. Follow-Up Visits - You’ll have retainer checkups to ensure proper fit and monitor any movement.Don’t skip these—they help you keep that perfect smile.
6. Enjoy Your New Smile! - Smile big! You’ve earned it.Now’s the time for selfies, graduation pics, weddings, or just feeling more confident every day.
