Long after the braces came off
General Dentistry for St. Vital Residents
Straightening was finished years ago, the retainer may have gone missing, and routine visits slipped. St. Vital residents can pick up general dental care again at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.

Straight is not the same as checked
Well-aligned teeth still need looking after.
It is easy to think that the expensive part of your dental life is over. Straight teeth can certainly be simpler to clean, but cavities can still start between them, and tartar still forms along the gumline. Teeth that have shifted a little since treatment ended may create a new tight spot where floss snags or food gets trapped, and those are worth pointing out.
St. Vital is in Winnipeg, and adults there who are returning to regular care can come to our McPhillips Street clinic. A general visit reviews your teeth, gums, bite and any fillings you have, along with a retainer if you still wear one. If your concern turns out to be alignment itself, you can ask what orthodontic options exist; those belong to a separate branch of care.

New tight spots
Slight movement over the years can change where floss catches and where plaque collects.
Your bite today
How your teeth meet is part of the assessment, so a recent change in feel is worth reporting.
Retainer questions
Bring it along, or say that it is long gone, and ask what the dentist makes of your current fit.
The everyday side
Care that continues after orthodontics

Getting back to it
A few points worth raising at your return visit.
They help the dentist compare where you are now with where you ended up.
Request your visit- 01
Mention your treatment history
Tell the team roughly when your braces came off, and whether any teeth were removed to make room. Approximate dates work.
- 02
Point out any drift
Show which teeth seem different compared with when you finished. Old photographs of your smile can help with the comparison.
- 03
Ask about hard-to-clean areas
Home-care advice should address your own trouble spots. Ask which areas are collecting buildup and how you might reach them.

A little clarity before your visit
Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about general dentistry in St. Vital.
Ask our teamMy teeth have shifted a bit. Should that worry me?
Some movement after orthodontics is not unusual. Have it noted at your examination, especially if your bite feels different or a spot has become hard to clean.
Can you tell me whether I need a new retainer?
Bring that question and any retainer you still own to your appointment. The dentist can look at how things stand now and tell you what they would consider appropriate.
Is a cavity between straight teeth really possible?
Yes. Decay can develop quietly between teeth regardless of how even they look, and it may not cause pain early on. Examinations and appropriate X-rays help reveal those changes.
I had teeth removed for braces. Does that matter now?
It is useful background, so mention it even if you are unsure which ones. Your dentist will still base any advice on what can be seen in your mouth today.
I still have a fixed wire behind my teeth. Is cleaning harder?
Wires can make certain areas trickier to reach, and buildup may collect around them. Let your hygienist know it is there, and ask to be shown how to clean along it.
