Braces wearers have a higher risk of tooth decay
Braces wearers have a higher risk of tooth decay
This is due to a higher level of plaque that builds up around the brackets of braces, which was found to be 2-3x higher than that of those without orthodontic appliances. It was also suggested that poor oral care during orthodontic treatment can increase the deterioration of gums and the underlying bone, so it’s even more important that you care for your teeth and gums during your time wearing braces.
Not only are your chances of tooth decay and gum disease higher, but a common issue for braces wearers are white spot lesions. These are areas of decalcified enamel that appear around the brackets of braces and are more visible once the braces have been removed. They can be prevented by establishing good oral hygiene habits, such as regular and thorough brushing and rinsing.
