Can I get dental treatment with braces?
The doctor's answer
Before installing braces, a complete sanitation of the oral cavity is required: caries, pulpitis, periodontitis and other inflammatory processes are treated. Treatment before installing braces is necessary, as the system's effect on teeth, dental roots and periodontal can accelerate and worsen problems.
If caries does occur during treatment on braces, then it must be treated promptly. Before treatment with a therapist, the orthodontist removes the arch and peels the bracket from the desired tooth. After caries treatment, the braces are glued back on. To prevent the appearance of caries during orthodontic treatment, careful home hygiene and professional cleaning once every 3 months are recommended. Remineralizing gels and pastes can be used to strengthen enamel and prevent it.
