New Year, New Smile

All of us at TenBrook Orthodontics wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and since it’s a new year, that means it’s time for New Year’s resolutions.
As your providers of braces for kids and adults, Invisalign, Invisalign Teen, clear braces, and other high-quality orthodontic treatments, here are tips on how to get your dental health off to a wonderful start in 2020. Consider these tips, and you’ll have a beautiful smile for the new year.
Cut Back on Consuming Sugar
Our first suggestion certainly won’t be a popular one. We recommend cutting back on sugar, as it can be detrimental toward a person’s dental health (you probably already knew this). The reason why sugar can be harmful is that it interacts with the bacteria in your mouth to create acids, which will eat away at your tooth enamel and cause decay. While we wouldn’t expect you to completely quit eating sugary foods, limiting the amount of sugar that you consume can go a long way in boosting the health of your smile.
Improve Your Oral Hygiene Regimen
One of the cornerstones of a healthy smile is a committed oral hygiene regimen, which is why we always suggest making sure that your oral hygiene routine is at its optimal level. We recommend brushing twice per day, for at least two minutes, so that you’ll have time to brush all areas of your teeth and your tongue, too. Don’t forget to floss daily, and you may rinse with mouthwash as well. If you’re wearing metal or clear braces, we recommend brushing four times every day (once after each meal, and then again before bedtime). Also, if you’re having a hard time flossing with braces, we recommend using a floss thread or super floss.
Consider Orthodontic Treatment with TenBrook Orthodontics
If you’re unsatisfied with your smile, or feel that it’s not as beautiful as it could be, there’s no better way to start 2020 than by undergoing orthodontic treatment.
While in years past, orthodontics may have been a hassle, but the latest orthodontic technology has made treatment more convenient than ever. In addition to the metal braces, we can also provide you with other more discreet options. For example, our Invisalign or T- clear braces treatments are excellent choices, if you’d like to maintain a professional appearance.
While Invisalign for adults, we also offer Invisalign Teen – a treatment that offers all of the benefits of Invisalign, except that it’s geared toward teenagers.
No matter who you are, and what your orthodontic concerns are, we’ve got a solution that’s perfect for helping you attain the smile of your dreams.
