"Good oral HYGIENE is the foundation for a healthy smile--before, during, and after braces."

Neglecting oral care during braces treatment can cause irreversible enamel damage, tooth decay, and periodontal disease. 🦷🪥

Wearing braces is a crucial step toward achieving a straight and beautiful smile, but it also requires a higher level of oral care. The brackets and wires create spaces where food particles and plaque can easily accumulate, making it more difficult to clean your teeth properly. If oral hygiene is neglected during orthodontic treatment, it can result in serious problems such as enamel decalcification, tooth decay, and gum inflammation.

Enamel damage appears as white spots around the brackets—early signs of mineral loss that can become permanent. Plaque build-up around the braces can lead to cavities, especially in hard-to-reach areas, and increase the risk of gum disease due to chronic inflammation. Over time, this can compromise not only your dental health but also the final results of your orthodontic treatment.

To prevent these complications, it's essential to brush thoroughly after every meal using an orthodontic toothbrush or electric brush, floss daily with special orthodontic aids, and maintain regular professional cleanings. Good oral hygiene is the foundation for a healthy smile—before, during, and after braces.

Licensed dentists do not simply install braces. We do case analysis and treatment planning, thus requiring x-rays, photographs and study cast. We plan the amount of force to be applied, consider the torque and angulation of the teeth and achieve all the characteristics of normal occlusion. We do not just change the color of your "rubbers" monthly. Each month we move your teeth closer to the correct position and occlusion (with the right amount of force).

Choose wisely. 🙂

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL OUR DEAR PATIENTS ...

Health Sec. Duque recently announced that dentists can resume operations but with strict health compliance. With that in mind, we are sorry to announce that OUR CLINIC IS NOT YET COVID- READY. Numbers of covid + are rising, most are asymptomatic and there is no serious mass testing yet and we have to treat everyone as PUM's even after triaging procedures. The PDA came up with protocols and proper clinic set-up to ensure the safety of everyone. Please allow us time to modify our clinic and to purchase necessary equipments like filters, proper ppe's, suctions etc; which are hard to come by because of limited supply, lacking manpower and restricted movement brought about by the ECQ. Most of our procedures are aerosol generating thus careful modifications and adjustments are necessary to prevent cross-contamination
(we have families to think about and to care for). Please bear with us at these trying times. You can PM us if you need to consult.
Thank you.
