Caring for Braces and Invisalign
At Tringas Orthodontics we provide tips on how to take care of your Invisalign or braces both inside and outside of your mouth since both procedures need commitment.
What Happens if You Swallow a Bracket or Wire?
The orthodontic bracket may also come loose and be swallowed by the patient if the teeth are brushed incorrectly, or dental floss or toothpicks are used incorrectly.
Poking Wire! How Can I Fix it At Home?
With the help of the tweezers, gently reposition the w
ire’s end into the bracket slot. Wax may be used to hold the wire in place until your subsequent orthodontic visit once the wire has been firmly reinserted into the bracket slot.
When Can Kids Get Braces?
Remember that adult teeth don’t always emerge into their designated spaces when initial teeth fall out and new teeth replace them.
What’s the Difference Between a Dentist and an Orthodontist?
Orthodontists and dentists have a lot in common with one another. Both have the goal of offering a beautiful smile. Dentists address a wide variety of concerns relating to patient’s oral health, such as tooth decay, gum disease, tooth damage, and tooth loss. Dentists may become orthodontists by completing an extra three years of specialized education at a university that has been granted accreditation and focusing on the alignment of teeth and jaw.
