Braces are the simplest way to correct orthodontic problems such as under bites, over bites, cross bites and open bites as well as crooked teeth, and various other flaws of teeth and jaws.
There are several types of braces:
- Stainless (Metal) Braces
- Ceramic Braces
It is very important during orthodontic treatment to be especially diligent in regards to taking care of your teeth. It is easy for food to get trapped in your braces which can cause a host of problems. It is also important to schedule regular dental examinations to prevent cavities or other problems.
"Dr. Matar, how often do I need to brush with dental braces?"
Normally, brushing teeth is necessary within five minutes after eating any type of food like a snack or meal. It is always a good idea to carry a toothbrush with you if you are at work or away from home.
