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, fl ossing, and brushing after meals, patients also have
the option of applying a prescription gel to their teeth as a means of
preventing decay or decalcifi cation. A recent study shows that those
patients with braces who brushed, then applied a 1.1% fl uoride 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 fl uoride and can be
supplement to the oral hygiene routine. Many offi ces carry these at their
offi ces 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 effi ciently, remain cavity-free, and
stain-free. For patient 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 best results from orthodontic therapy.
