Your orthodontist doesn't work alone. Here's how we team up with your dentist to protect your smile.
When you're in braces, your oral health becomes a shared responsibility. We handle the alignment and tooth movement, while your dentist handles cleanings, cavities, and gum health.
Here's why that matters. Nearly 50% of patients with braces develop permanent white spot lesions without proper dental cleanings. Those spots are irreversible damage from plaque buildup around brackets. Your dentist catches it early and keeps your enamel safe while we work.
If you start treatment with gum disease, moving teeth can cause irreversible bone loss. We're constantly communicating behind the scenes about cavities, inflammation, and your safety.
The result is simple: better outcomes, healthier teeth, and a smile that lasts. That's the power of teamwork you didn't know was happening.
