An easy and effective way to remove plaque around dental braces and improve gum health is to use a Waterpik. Water Flosser with the Orthodontic Tip, is clinically proven more effective than dental floss for people with braces. It also helps flush out the bacteria and food debris from around teeth and under the gums

Getting treated with braces will weaken my teeth. While it is true that teeth are moved within the gums during the course of braces treatment, it will not weaken the tooth support, if you, as a patient have been good in maintaining the hygiene around the gums, teeth & braces.

Through orthodontic treatment, problems like crooked or crowded teeth, overbites or underbites, incorrect jaw position and disorders of the jaw joints are corrected. If left untreated, these problems can result in tooth decay, gum disease, headaches and earaches, as well as speaking, biting or chewing problems.
