Welcome to the Old Bridge Orthodontics Blog! Today, we're going to talk about why having straight teeth is important, and how it can benefit your oral health and overall well-being.

First and foremost, straight teeth can improve your appearance and boost your confidence. When you have a beautiful smile, you're more likely to smile more often and feel better about yourself. This can lead to better social interactions and even help you advance in your career.

But the benefits of straight teeth go beyond just aesthetics. Crooked or misaligned teeth can make it difficult to properly clean your teeth, which can lead to a buildup of plaque and tartar. Over time, this can cause tooth decay, gum disease, and even tooth loss. By straightening your teeth, you can improve your oral health and reduce your risk of these dental issues.

In addition, having straight teeth can improve your bite and help you chew your food more effectively. This can lead to better digestion and overall health. Straight teeth can also reduce the wear and tear on your teeth, which can prevent the need for expensive dental treatments down the road.

How to floss with braces

  Flossing is an essential part of oral hygiene, but when you have braces, it can be a bit tricky. Food particles and plaque can easily get trapped in the brackets and wires, leading to cavities and other dental problems. In this article, we'll discuss two ways to floss with braces: using traditional floss and using a water flosser. Flossing with traditional floss: Step 1: Get a floss threader. A floss threader is a small, flexible tool that helps you thread floss through the wire of your braces. You can find them at most drug stores. Step 2: Cut a piece of floss about 18 inches long. Step 3: Thread the floss through the threader, then guide the threader under the wire of your braces. Step 4: Hold the floss tightly between your thumbs and index fingers and glide it up and down between your teeth, making a C-shape around each tooth. Step 5: Repeat the process for each tooth, using a clean section of floss each time. Flossing with a water flosser: A water flosser is a device that use

What are orthodontic braces?

  Braces are a common orthodontic treatment used to straighten crooked or misaligned teeth. They consist of brackets, bands, wires, and other orthodontic components that work together to apply controlled pressure to the teeth, gradually shifting them into the correct position. Orthodontic problems such as overcrowding, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and gaps between teeth can all be corrected with braces. The treatment process typically takes between 18 and 36 months, depending on the severity of the case and the age of the patient. Let's take a closer look at how braces work to straighten teeth. Placing the Brackets The first step in the braces treatment process is to place the brackets on the teeth. Brackets are small, square-shaped metal or ceramic pieces that are attached to the front of the teeth using a special dental adhesive. Attaching the Archwire Once the brackets are in place, an archwire is threaded through them and secured
