Braces Removed from Decalcification? {FACTS}

March 22, 2018/0 Comments/in Orthodontic Facts /by Dr King

Decalcification occurs when the teeth lose minerals and strength, mainly because of the consumption of acidic foods and drinks. The problem can also occur because of overconsumption of sugary foods or poor oral hygiene. Bacteria in your teeth will quickly convert the carbohydrates and sugars to acid. The resulting pH imbalance in the mouth makes the teeth lose calcium, minerals, and phosphates. Eventually, the teeth will have white spots, meaning they are losing calcium. This problem also affects other bones in the body.

How can I fix my face and make it more symmetrical?

December 30, 2017/0 Comments/in Braces /by Dr King

Over time the mouth and all of its internal parts may make movements. This can cause features on the face to skew or not be straight in a way. This can be very concerning to young children and teenagers. Especially because it happens at a time when they are most socially exposed to others who may not act positively when there are discrepancies amongst the symmetry of the face.
