Braces and Tooth Stains
NY orthodontists know what they’re talking about when it comes to braces. Your kids might think they know what’s best for their teeth but it’s definitely better to trust the professionals in Brooklyn orthodontics.
One thing I wish I would have listened to when I had braces pertained to tooth stains. I was very careful (albeit slightly resentful) about giving up my favorite snack, popcorn, but when it came to caring for my braces in other ways I was decidedly lacking. When your child gets braces, you will receive a special tooth brush designed to clean under the wires (unless you have Invisalign braces of course.) This brush is incredibly important. It is used to get food that may be lodged underneath or very close to the place that your brackets are attached to your teeth. With this brush you can rid your mouth of these bits of food before they cause any damage.
The damage caused by these crumbs can be severe. not only can it lead to cavities but to other permanent problems like stains. White stains caused by food cannot be removed and will remain a part of your smile forever. This is why it is very important to listen to directions given to you by your Brooklyn orthodontist.
