Achieving a beautiful and HEALTHY
smile with braces
Ask the Orthodontist
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 fl ossing. Since brushing
and fl ossing 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
fl uoride 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 effi ciently, remain cavity-free, and stain-free. For patients
with work or school, our offi ce 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!!
