Oral hygiene-toothbrushing-decalcification
Careful and regular toothbrushing with fluoridised toothpaste during treatment is essential. Tooth decay, gum disease and unsightly permanent markings (decalcification) on teeth can occur if patients eat foods containing sugars or acids too frequently or do not brush their teeth adequately. These same problems can occur without orthodontic treatment but the risk is greater when wearing braces. It is very important to continue with regular checkups with your general dentist throughout orthodontic treatment.
