Don’t forget to brush with Braces!

Maintaining good dental hygiene is particularly important while wearing braces. This is the case as dental problems that occur without Orthodontic treatment are far more likely to develop when wearing braces. These include; permanent markings on teeth, gum disease and tooth decay. Gums can also become inflamed and supporting bone structure can be lost if plaque is not removed from teeth. It is therefore necessary to brush at least three times a day - immediately after each meal including lunch.

At John Mewing Orthodontics we have a Dental Hygienist who will work with you throughout your treatment. Dental Hygienists use preventive, educational and therapeutic methods to help prevent oral diseases whilst helping patients to achieve and maintain oral health. Our Hygienist will work with you to determine the best oral hygiene routine for your individual needs.
