"Achieving a beautiful
and HEALTHY smile with braces"

Those who wear the non-removable orthodontic appliances known, as
braces must guard against stains and decay springing up around the edges
of brackets and bands by paying meticulous attention to oral hygiene.

In addition to routine brushing at least three times per day, all orthodontic
patients should also practice daily flossing. Since brushing and flossing
with braces can be challenging for many patients, there are many tools and
techniques that we can offer to make these challenges simple to overcome.
We recommend that all our patients also use a fluoride rinse at bedtime to
preserve the health and integrity of their teeth.

While an electric toothbrush may help many patients, any soft bristle
toothbrush can be used. If the plaque is properly removed, the teeth will
move more efficiently, remain cavity-free, and stain-free. For patients with
work or school, our office also provides a travel toothbrush, which makes
it more convenient to brush when not at home.

In general, excellent orthodontic treatment can only be obtained with
cooperative and informed patients. Once orthodontic therapy begins, the
patient will be expected to continue to see the family dentist for regular
check-ups, dental cleanings and routine care. Routine dental care will help
ensure the best results from orthodontic therapy and allow us to work with
your dentist to create a beautiful and healthy smile to last a lifetime!!
