Some points to remember while undergoing orthodontic treatment

  1. Teeth can change their position at any point of time in your life due to many reasons like late growth of the lower jaw or change in the elasticity of the cheek and lip. Because of these changes, a crowded or gap between the teeth is a common result. But simultaneously, you can get braces or aligners at any stage of your life to correct this discrepancy.

Consult or visit us for any orthodontic problem.

2. Braces can make you look younger

Yes, you heard it right. However, this should not be the primary reason to get braces. Depending on the type of braces being used and for what purpose, braces’ work can smooth wrinkles and make your chin skin tighter, making your face look younger.

  • You must not miss your appointments if you are undergoing orthodontic treatment. Things come up in everyone’s life that makes it necessary to skip a visit. But it’s never advisable to skip an appointment entirely without rescheduling it as soon as possible. Because you are wearing metal/ceramic / any other type of braces, they need periodic adjustments and activations. Alterations to or ‘tightening’ your braces cause your teeth to move gradually into the correct alignment. We typically adjust braces for the fastest movement possible every 6-8 weeks.

3. Can aligner/Invisalign cause cavities?

No, Invisalign/ clear aligner does not cause dental cavities. However, as clear aligner trays prevent saliva movement on the teeth, patients must brush and floss their teeth thoroughly after every meal. Failing to do so could create areas where plaque is likely to build up, leading to cavities.

Maintaining oral hygiene with a clear aligner is easy as it can be removed while eating and brushing your teeth. So don’t forget to maintain oral hygiene and clean your aligner daily. It will help to prevent dental cavities.
