After bleaching session, you should observe the following:

1. After debonding and scaling, be careful to use oral rinses or water and salt for 3-4 days at a rate of 4 times a day until the gums return to their normal state and the symptoms of gingivitis disappear if present. Consequently, you prevent any discomfort that may occur at scaling done after the removal of orthodontic appliances.
2. Retainers should be used carefully, and their instructions should be strictly followed, since all the fatigue and efforts and all the results achieved by now depend on the correct use of retainers.

6. Your good commitment to putting –in the retainer helps shortening the duration of this stage and moving on quickly to the next stage of putting it in 14 hours a day. When any emergency order prevents you from putting-in the appliances, rush to the clinic to fix the problem, otherwise, failure of putting-in the retainer will lead to movement of teeth relapsing to its pre-treatment situation, and the clinic will not be responsible of that.
7. Permanent retainer (fixed on your teeth) gives you the feeling of strange object in the mouth. This may last for several days before you get used to it.
8. Make sure to use the toothbrush normally in the area where the retainer is fixed and ensure that the retainer is cleaned well.
