Yes! You should still visit the dentist regularly, even if you have braces. Braces are a great way to straighten your teeth, but they can also trap food and plaque against your teeth, which can cause cavities and gum disease. Your dentist can help you get rid of plaque and tartar that has built up around your brackets and wires. They can also look for signs of tooth decay. Also, your dentist can tell you how to brush and floss your teeth well while you have braces. You can help ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy by visiting the dentist regularly during your orthodontic treatment.
