Life gets busy, and sometimes you might miss an orthodontic appointment. But does missing one appointment really matter? Yes, it can! Here’s what you need to know.
At McLevin, our Canadian dental team is here to help you stay on track with your treatment plan.
🦷 Why Are Regular Appointments Important?
Orthodontic visits ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. Whether you have braces or Invisalign, your dentist checks for:
- Proper tooth movement
- Tightening or adjustments needed
- Progress tracking to avoid delays
Missing an appointment can slow down your treatment, meaning you may wear braces or aligners longer than expected.
What Should You Do If You Miss an Appointment?
Don’t stress—but do reschedule as soon as possible!
- ✔️ Call your orthodontist to book the next available slot.
- ✔️ Follow your current treatment instructions carefully.
- ✔️ Don’t skip wearing your aligners or rubber bands as prescribed.
The sooner you reschedule, the less impact it will have on your treatment timeline.
💼 How to Avoid Missing Appointments
- Set reminders on your phone.
- Book appointments at convenient times.
- Keep a calendar of your orthodontic visits.
Pro tip: Consistency is key! Staying on schedule ensures you get the best results in the shortest time possible.
