Good oral hygiene is always important, but especially during orthodontic treatment. With braces, there are more places where food particles and plaque can accumulate. If you don’t brush properly, this can lead to gum inflammation, cavities, or permanent discoloration on your teeth — and of course, that’s something you want to avoid.
Because we’re working together on achieving your best smile, it’s also our goal to help you keep your mouth as healthy as possible. That’s why we recommend scheduling regular appointments with the dental hygienist. They will show you exactly how to keep your teeth and braces clean, which tools are helpful, and what areas need extra attention.
Brushing well often requires a bit more effort when you have braces. The dental hygienist checks your brushing technique and helps you make adjustments in time, so you can prevent problems. This way, we ensure not only that your teeth become beautifully aligned, but also that they stay healthy and strong.
Because a radiant smile is only truly complete when it’s healthy!
