Winter Break Is a Great Time for an Ortho Visit!

Those few weeks off at the end of the year mean fewer school commitments and more flexibility for families, making it a great time to stay on track with orthodontic care.

Do I Still Need to See My Dentist If I Have Braces?
Yes. Regular dental visits are especially important during orthodontic treatment. Orthodontists focus on straightening and aligning teeth, but they do not perform professional cleanings. Visiting your dentist helps remove buildup around brackets and wires, and may be needed as often as every three months.

Why Are Cleanings Important with Braces?
Brackets and wires can trap plaque and food that brushing and flossing may miss. Dental hygienists use specialized tools to clean hard-to-reach areas and help prevent cavities and gum irritation.

The Benefit of Having Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics in One Office
When pediatric dentistry and orthodontics are in the same office, care is simpler and more coordinated. Your child’s dentist and orthodontist can work together, share updates, and align treatment plans. It also means fewer appointments, less time away from school, and a more comfortable experience for your child.
