After months of orthodontic appointments, it is tempting to feel that your teeth are done. Routine exams and cleanings still have their place once the active treatment ends.
Let's find a time
Straight teeth can be easier to reach, but they still collect plaque and tartar, and they still need to be examined. If you wear a fixed wire behind your teeth or a removable retainer, that is another thing to keep clean and to mention to your dental team.
Stonewall is outside the City of Winnipeg, and residents who pick our clinic come in to McPhillips Street for their appointments. Your retainer instructions continue to come from whoever provided your orthodontic care, unless you arrange otherwise, so ask your team here what they can and can’t help with.
Explore check-ups & cleanings
Your hygienist needs to know about any fixed wire before starting work around your lower or upper front teeth.
Your exam still covers decay, gums, and bite, regardless of how straight your teeth now look.
Technique that worked around brackets may need changing now that they are gone.
Orthodontic work changes the position of your teeth. It doesn’t stop plaque from forming. Your check-up and cleaning look after the health of what has been moved into place.
With brackets gone, your dentist can look at all the surfaces that were harder to see during treatment.
Your hygienist removes deposits with care around any fixed wire, a common spot for tartar to form.
Tell your hygienist if a fixed wire feels loose or has come away from a tooth. Your orthodontic provider may also need to know, so ask what the right next step would be.
The sequence is the same as for other patients, with a few retainer-related questions added. Some appointments need more time, depending on what your team finds.
Request your visitYour medical history is reviewed, and you can say what kind of orthodontic care you had, when it ended, and which retainer you use.
Your dentist examines your mouth, discusses any images that may be needed, and explains the findings in plain language.
Scaling removes plaque and tartar, with some attention to the back of any bonded wire, and polishing may follow if suitable.
Talk about how your routine might change now that brackets are gone, then look at when your next appointments should be.
A removable retainer is easy to bring along in its case. Should it have a cloudy film or a build-up you can’t shift, that is a fine thing to ask about while you’re there.
Since you’ll be coming into Winnipeg, you may want to ask ahead of time how long to set aside, and whether any retainer questions should go to another provider.

Some people arrive with a low tolerance for dental appointments after a long course of orthodontics. If you are feeling that way, tell your team, and let them explain what is planned before they start.
If particular teeth react to cold or touch, pointing them out allows your hygienist to adjust.
A request to see or hear about an instrument before it is used is entirely reasonable.
Agree on a signal beforehand, particularly if your jaw tires easily after a long stretch of treatment.
Keeping things in place
The work now is largely about staying consistent. Your cleaning routine, your retainer, and your recall appointments all help you stay aware of how your teeth are doing.
Ask how to clean a removable appliance without damaging it, and follow your provider’s instructions on how often to wear it.
Try to keep an eye on any bonded retainer, and mention any change you can feel with your tongue or see in a mirror.
Your recall interval is based on your current needs, and it may not resemble the schedule you had during treatment.
Retainer cracked or wire broken? Call the clinic, or your orthodontic provider, to find out what to do next.

Helpful details about check-ups & cleanings in Stonewall.
Ask our teamYes, as plaque and tartar continue to form however well aligned your teeth are. Your dentist and hygienist can recommend how often to come, based on your own oral health.
That area can be difficult to clean, and it’s a place where deposits commonly form. Your hygienist can remove them, and can show you ways to clean around the wire at home.
Your hygienist works carefully around it, but it is important to mention it before they begin. Let them know as well if the wire has ever come loose or felt different.
Bring it up at your check-up, and contact your orthodontic provider too. Your dentist can examine your teeth and bite, and say whether something else should be looked at.
It’s a good idea. If you have questions about how it fits or how to clean it, having it with you means your team can see what you’re asking about.
It can help to know what treatment you had and where it took place. Ask when you get in touch whether any images or notes would be useful to transfer.
