Wearing braces can make dental care slightly more complicated. To prevent gum disease and cavities, you need to clean both your teeth and braces properly. Cleaning with a regular toothbrush is not enough – you often need additional cleaning products . Your dentist/orthodontic assistant can guide you to suitable products for orthodontic care and show you how to use them. If you have removable braces, make sure to brush them too, using a toothbrush and water.
A dental implant consists of a screw that is placed in the jawbone and a crown, which looks like a natural tooth and is anchored to the implant. When the screw is placed in the jawbone, it will in most cases integrate with the bone, which heals tightly around the screw. For the treatment to be successful, taking good care of your dental implants is vital. With proper home care and professional maintenance, your new teeth can last for life.
