How An NY Orthodontist Could Help Me Again
Luckily my teeth are straight and I don’t have to go to the NY orthodontist any time soon. Knock on wood I don’t have a serious jaw problem or need oral surgery of any kind. My biggest issue is the color of my teeth. I drink coffee every day, yeah, sometimes tea too. I need [...]
Flossing With Braces, From Your NY Orthodontist
It’s really important to floss. When you brush you only hit three of the five sides of a tooth, the front, back and top (and that’s assuming you are brushing well already). The sides are where a lot of the bacteria like to hang out, along with the area near the gumline. Then they become [...]
Get Braces Brooklyn NY While You’re Young!
When I was fourteen we moved and I had a new dentist. He took x-rays of my mouth and said, why didn’t you ever have Medicaid braces when you were younger? My old dentist told me my teeth were fine. My new dentist gave me the name of an NY orthodontist. At my appointment, the [...]
Be Proud of Your Brooklyn Braces NY!
When you’re visiting your Medicaid orthodontist, don’t be ashamed.

Different Smiles Result From an NY Orthodontist
I judge people by their teeth, sure. You probably do too, even if you don’t consciously realize it. Small teeth I feel bad for; there is nothing you can do about those and they don’t even necessarily indicate poor breeding. Gap teeth are a little better. I don’t know why but they’re kinda funny. Snaggle [...]
Guilt for the Medicaid Orthodontist
I didn’t brush my teeth or floss last night. For shame! For shame, I told myself, and I’ve brushed my teeth already twice before five o’clock but still I’m scared. What if the tartar got loose last night and started a party? A bacteria party in my mouth! What if I have a cavity next [...]
Brooklyn NY Braces In High School
“Mom, all the kids are getting their braces off already.” “But honey if you don’t get braces now you can have serious problems later in life.” “I don’t care if my teeth are crooked.” “It’s more than that sweetie. You can have trouble chewing and your teeth are more likely to fall out when you’re [...]
Teeth Are The Window To Your Sense Of Hygiene
Teeth are supposed to be(but rarely are) clean and sparkly. If we’re to believe the movies they should be as white as a cloud. Now those may be hard standards to keep up all the time but the further you get from that standard the harder every first impression gets for you. Tooth maintenance is [...]

Getting braces on for the first time can feel a little funny. It’s nothing unusual but getting your teeth set exactly right is just a new feeling. Don’t worry.
