Wearing your retainer after braces or aligners is the key to keeping your smile straight and healthy. But what happens if you go to put it in… and it just won’t fit? Whether it feels too tight, won’t go on all the way, or is uncomfortable, here’s what to do when your retainer doesn’t fit:



1. Don’t Force It


If your retainer doesn’t slide on easily, don’t push it into place. Forcing a retainer that doesn’t fit can damage the appliance or put too much pressure on your teeth, causing discomfort or even injury.


2. Ask Yourself: How Long Has It Been?


If you’ve skipped wearing your retainer for even a few days, your teeth may have started to ...

If your child has had an initial consultation with Dr. Jolley and has been recommended for an observation visit, you might be wondering—what exactly does that mean? An orthodontic observation appointment is a crucial step in planning for future orthodontic treatment. It allows us to monitor your child's dental development and determine the perfect time to start treatment for the best possible results.



Why Are Observation Visits Important?


Some kids need orthodontic treatment, but not right away. An observation visit is scheduled when we know a child will need braces or other early orthodontic care but need to wait for the optimal time to begin. This could be due to baby teeth that stil...

When it comes to your smile, picking the right professional makes all the difference. You might be curious about the distinctions between a board-certified orthodontist, a non-certified orthodontist, and a dentist who offers braces. Let’s dive into what sets these professionals apart and why board certification is so important.



The Journey to Becoming an Orthodontist


First, let's break down the educational paths these experts take. Every orthodontist begins as a dentist, completing dental school to earn their DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) or DMD (Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry) degree. After that, those who want to specialize in orthodontics spend an extra two to three years in a rig...

October is here, and we all know what that means—candy everywhere! But before you dive into that trick-or-treat stash, let’s take a moment to think about your braces. At Jolley Orthodontics, Dr. Cameron Jolley wants to help you keep your teeth healthy and your treatment on track. While a little indulgence is fine, eating the wrong kinds of candy can be a real nightmare for your braces—and your teeth!


Why Candy and Braces Don’t Mix


Candy may be delicious, but it can spell disaster for your orthodontic treatment. Sticky, hard, or chewy candies (think caramels, taffy, and jawbreakers) can easily break brackets, bend wires, or even pull an appliance out of place. And you ...
