Traditional braces with brackets and wires may cause white spots on the teeth if patients do not properly brush and floss each day as directed. This is because the tooth underneath the glue of the bracket is covered, and if the surrounding tooth enamel discolors or yellows, the tooth underneath the glue and bracket, when removed will be a different color. The best way to avoid this situation is to ensure you care for your smile as directed by your team at Advanced Orthodontic Care. Drs. Robert Rudman and Jeff Birg can educate you on keeping the teeth clean and avoiding any complications that may be aesthetic or dental health-related.
