The Wise Choice: Questioning Wisdom Teeth & Braces
When it comes to orthodontic treatment, including braces - your wisdom teeth may not be the first thing to come to mind. However, the question does come up concerning wisdom teeth. This is often a concern towards the end of treatment (when wisdom teeth tend to erupt). Will my wisdom teeth undo all the work my braces just did?

These factors will determine if you are a candidate for treatment at myORTHODONTIST.
What You Need to Know When Evaluating an Orthodontist

Invisalign is a simple and discreet treatment that straightens teeth using a removable transparent aligner.

Gum Care During Orthodontic Treatment
Maintaining proper oral hygiene can sometimes be challenging if you are wearing braces. However, keeping your gums healthy while you are undergoing treatment is a must. At myORTHODONTIST, we have some helpful tips for caring for your gums during your treatment:
How to Brush Your Teeth During Orthodontic Treatment
At myORTHODONTIST we understand that the health of your smile is important to you. This is one of the reasons you are undergoing orthodontic treatment in the first place. According to the Canadian Dental Association, not correcting an abnormal bite could lead to various oral health issues. This includes tooth decay, gum disease, and in some cases it can also cause abnormal tooth wear or tooth loss! Now that you have braces, we want you to be prepared for cleaning your teeth - even if it is a little more challenging.
How to Prevent Bad Breath When Wearing Braces
Bad Breath is medically known as 'halitosis'. It can happen to almost anyone! It can be caused by many factors, such as diet, poor oral care, use of tobacco, dehydration, medical conditions and even stress! During orthodontic treatment, if oral hygiene is neglected - bad breath can be a big problem! If you don’t want to feel self-conscious about having bad breath, let's learn how to prevent this problem. At myORTHODONTIST, we are here to help our patients feel confident about their smiles.
