MARCH
ORTHODONTICS (BRACES) MONTH
Crooked teeth and bite problems are often solved with orthodontic treatment.
Gum Disease and Tooth Decay during Orthodontic Treatment
Braces are the most common way to straighten teeth and correct major bite problems, and a removable retainer can help hold teeth in place after braces are removed.
It’s important to keep your mouth healthy—especially when you are wearing braces. Inflamed, puffy gums can make it difficult to keep your teeth and braces clean. Your dentist or hygienist can show you how to properly clean your teeth when you have braces to help prevent issues like tooth decay and gum disease.
