ORTHODONTICS
Do you wear braces?
Wearing braces can trap plaque, allowing it to build-up, and making it difficult
to clean your teeth around brackets. The acid produced by the bacteria in this
plaque eats into your teeth, especially around brackets and bands, causing
mineral loss and white spots. These are unsightly and can also later become
cavities. It is important to prevent orthodontic white spots from developing by
carefully removing plaque, and boosting fluoride, calcium and phosphate
around your teeth.
