“What will my dental follow up be like after getting my braces removed?”
I got braces at 25 and now I'm finally getting them off. Are there things they'll look for at my follow up appointment after they're gone?

Yes, relapse.
Yes you should be evaluated for any possible misalignment
I can't speak for everyone who practices Orthodontics but I always had my door open for first 3 years after braces came off to do free retainer checks.
Periodic exam and evaluation is a must every 6 months plus your regular hygiene cleaning and maintenance. You might need to get a retainer to keep your teeth from shifting.
A good cleaning
Have the teeth X-rayed. Cleanings, and wear retainer as advised by an orthodontist.
Same as always. Look for cavities, cleaning, X-rays.
Hello,
Congratulations on your new smile! At your first appointment post orthodontics, a cleaning should be done, now that all the brackets and wires are gone. X-rays will be taken to see if any cavities have occurred between your teeth. I would assume some sort of retailers either fixed or removable will be given. Do ask your dentist or orthodontist for a more concise breakdown.
Hope this helped.
