Gum inflammation is a result of excessive plaque buildup on the teeth and gum line – also known as gingivitis. It can be extremely challenging to keep your teeth clean and healthy while wearing braces due to the brackets and wires. This is why many people who are undergoing orthodontic treatment experience gum inflammation and irritation. As your Orthodontist , it is not only our goal to help you achieve a straight, beautiful smile, but a HEALTHY one as well. To get your oral health on track while wearing braces, we recommend the following to each of our patients at every appointment:

TIPS TO AVOID GUM INFLAMMATION WHILE WEARING BRACES
1. BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH! BRUSHING YOUR TEETH IS KEY TO REDUCING GUM INFLAMMATION
Brushing your teeth is key to keeping inflammation at bay while wearing braces. You will want to make sure you are brushing properly and often. That means ideally one should brush after every meal and before bedtime. Make sure you are using a soft bristled toothbrush and hold it at a 45 degree angle to your teeth when brushing. Take your time, brush gently to avoid damaging brackets or wires, and to make sure you are getting all sides of the brackets. Your total brushing time should be 2-3 minutes. Tiny single bristle brushes called proxy brushes can help you clean easier next to brackets and behind wires. Some people find using an electric toothbrush to be helpful.

2. FLOSS IN BETWEEN TEETH AND BRACKETS
Flossing with braces can be time consuming but is so important in fighting gum inflammation. This process can be made easier with the right products provided by your orthodontist or found at your local drug store.

3. RINSE
Rinsing after meals with water can help loosen food particles that have gotten trapped around brackets and wires and make the job of brushing somewhat easier.

At Stern Orthodontics, we strive to have each of our patients leave our office with a healthy smile they can be proud to show everywhere they go! To schedule a free consultation with us, visit our website at: www.sternortho.com

It’s the beginning of the New Year! Don’t wait any longer to achieve your goal of a bright straight smile! You can have a beautiful 😃 smile.

Investing in a brighter, healthier smile means investing in yourself. Research shows skipping the dentist can result in poor oral health and even an increased risk of tooth loss, which can decrease your quality of life. By prioritizing your oral care, you can protect your teeth from problems that can affect both your physical health and your quality of life.

So while you’re recommitting to your health and wellness this year, make your smile a priority, because your teeth affect more than just your appearance.

Why is Flossing with Braces Important?

If you didn’t floss daily before braces, having braces is a great time to start since there are more nooks and crannies around braces, wires, and between teeth for sugars and food debris to hide. Floss gets into those difficult spaces and cleans where a toothbrush can’t clean as thoroughly.

On top of floss, a toothbrush, and mouthwash, you can supplement your braces-cleaning toolkit with extra orthodontic tools that make maintaining a healthy smile with braces even easier.

If you need extra help like our Elf here, don’t be afraid to ask us at your next appointment!
