Well its is essential to keep Dental Impressions, Extra Oral, Intra Oral Photographs and Dental X Rays records for every Orthodontic Patient. This helps us to make treatment plans, changes when and where required, so that we can plan accordingly. As an Orthodontist I am doing the same for every single pt that I have treated so far. Next is, what ever treatment plan suits you better discuss it with your orthodontist. And yes we do tell you to brush with a specific brush, some mouth wash, floss etc., so that your teeth and gums are in a good overall status.
