The most common question among parents is
“Staying Cavity-Free While in Braces”
Those who wear the non-removable orthodontic appliances known, as
braces must guard against decay springing up around the edges of brackets
and bands by paying meticulous attention to oral hygiene. Aside from
rinsing, flossing, and brushing after meals, patients also have the option of
applying a prescription gel to their teeth as a means of preventing decay
or decalcification. A recent study shows that those patients with braces
who brushed, then applied a 1.1% fluoride gel twice daily for eighteen
months, reduced levels of plaque (the sticky, germ laden substance that
coats teeth and encourages cavities), gum swelling, and gum bleeding by
about half, when compared with those patients who did not use the gel and
only brushed. There are also mouth rinses that contain a .63% stannous
fluoride and can be supplement to the oral hygiene routine. Many offices
carry these at their offices for your convenience, or can write a prescription
for their patients.
Electric toothbrushes can also help the patient comply with good oral
hygiene, but any soft bristle toothbrush can be used, and if the plague
is removed, the teeth will move more efficiently, remain cavity-free, and
stain-free. For patient 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 best results from orthodontic therapy.
