With the COVID-19 virus spreading out there, seeing an orthodontist is not realistic.  Most clinics are only seeing true emergency patients.

 

Social distancing, hand washing and avoiding touching one’s face is essential.  In addition taking optimal care of your teeth by both brushing and flossing and paying extra attention to avoid eating those foods that aren’t good for your braces is necessary.
