Patients in Orthodontics (Braces)

Preventive care while a patient is undergoing orthodontic treatment is vital.  Food tends to trap around the tooth adjacent to the brackets causing decalcification (pre-cavity conditions) or cavities to occur.

When the braces are removed, the borders of the teeth may look very unappealing and may indeed be decayed.  Poor oral hygiene may also result in gum disease and bad breath as well.  Maintaining a strict professional preventive care appointment will not only remove trapped debris, but will be another educational reminder of the importance of good daily oral hygiene habits.  X-rays are not taken while the patient is in orthodontics, but the professional cleaning and exam are of paramount importance.

Visit our office and we will help review your medical history and perform an exam that gives you an assessment of your current oral condition and status as well as recommendations of a treatment plan.
