Why is Orthodontic Treatment so Important?
Dental health concerns like gingivitis due to poor tooth alignment can be easily resolved with orthodontic treatment. When teeth are gently moved to correct crooked or overlapping teeth the ability to brush and floss and keep the mouth clean is greatly improved. Teeth that overlap one another create the perfect place for food to become trapped and bacteria to develop – with many orthodontic patients expressing how frustrated they use to get when trying to keep these areas clean, prior to their teeth being straightened.

Have a Head Cold? Make Sure Your Teeth Aren’t Suffering Too
This NW Calgary Orthodontist explains that your mouth can take a beating during a head cold due to the proximity to the sinuses, inner ears and throat. It’s very common for patients to complain of toothache when they have a cold – this is because teeth in the upper arch often feel discomfort that is related to sinus congestion. The good news is that the throbbing pain in your teeth doesn’t mean you need dental treatment – but it does mean that you have to take extra care to keep your mouth and teeth healthy; and that includes your orthodontic braces.
