Family Dentist South Pasadena, California

While braces are a fairly common and successful approach to straighten your teeth, they can make some activities more difficult to perform on a daily basis and require routine care to function at their best. Metal braces’ impact on your ability to brush and floss is its main drawback. For regular brushing and flossing while wearing metal braces, South Pasadena Dental Group advises following this procedure.You must remove any elastic, rubber bands, or removable components from your braces in order to brush and floss your teeth. You must clean your braces before cleaning your teeth. To remove plaque or food particles from any of the brackets, pins, or wires, use your brush. Clean your teeth after cleaning your braces. Brush each tooth for 10 seconds, being gentle. Be sure to brush both sides along the gumline in a circular motion. Additionally, you should floss once per day.Traditional varieties of floss may be more difficult to use because of the wire from metal braces, so threader floss is advised. The tip of threader floss is sturdy and small, making it simpler to weave it between wires and floss every tooth. You’ll also need to arrange routine dental visits with your orthodontist to get your braces cleaned or adjusted in addition to this daily program.

Which Kind Of Braces Is Right For You?

We provide many types of teeth aligners at South Pasadena Dental Group.

Metal Braces

Metal braces are the most popular type of braces. These are the most cost-effective choices that are also very effective and dependable. Although one of the more effective and comfortable choices, metal braces will make it more difficult to brush and floss.

Ceramic Braces

Consider ceramic braces if you’re concerned about the visibility of metal braces. Ceramic braces are comparable to metal braces, however they are more covert because the brackets are tooth-colored. They’re a great option for anyone who cares about the way their teeth look.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are yet another variety of braces. Less frequently used than other types, lingual braces are placed on the patient’s teeth’s rear surfaces. As a result of this method of application, the braces are extremely well-liked because they are virtually undetectable. The drawback of lingual braces is that they could be more expensive than other types and might result in very minor speech pattern alterations in the patient, such a little lisp.

Invisalign, a sort of transparent aligner, is the final type of braces we provide. Wearable braces called clear aligners are available. In contrast to conventional types of braces, the aligners are transparent and removable.
