Thanks for the question! Yes!
In fact, it's even more important that patients receiving orthodontic treatment visit our office regularly. When you're wearing braces, food may be caught in places that your toothbrush normally can't reach. This causes bacteria to build up and can lead to discoloration, cavities and even gum disease. Dr. Bob Maley even recommends that certain patients with braces come in an extra time each year to be sure we thoroughly clean around the bands and between the teeth. Our staff will work closely with your orthodontist to make sure that your teeth stay clean and healthy while you're undergoing orthodontic treatment.
If it has been more than six months since your last visit to our St. Paul office, please give us a call! We look forward to your next visit!
