Do you know how you take your children to well-check visits to their pediatrician and regular checkups with their general dentist? It’s just as important to start factoring in orthodontist visits by the time your child is 7-years old.

Congratulations on beginning orthodontic treatment and starting your journey toward a smile that you will be proud to show off! As you move forward, it is important that you know the names of the parts of your braces in case you need to describe any problems or questions to our team. So, what are the main terms you need to know? Depending on what type of braces you chose, the terminology will vary some.
First, the square pieces that are bonded on each tooth are called brackets. Brackets can be made of stainless-steel metal or tooth colored ceramic and are usually put on the outside of each tooth. If you have lingual braces, the brackets are placed on the insi...

Maintaining good oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment is important for many reasons. If you do not keep your teeth clean during orthodontic treatment, it is possible for your treatment time to be delayed and white spots to form on your teeth.

It makes sense that the month most associated with candy would also be National Orthodontic Health Month, doesn’t it? With all those sweet treats that kiddos (and okay, parents too) just can’t resist, it’s the perfect time for some reminders about oral health and the benefits of orthodontic treatments for people of all ages.

Are you concerned about mouth injuries from your braces while participating in a physical activity? Many sports involve contact with other people, the ball, or other equipment. With braces, it is important that you protect your smile from the possibility of any injuries because the opportunity to injure your mouth is greater with the appliances.
Dr. Cameron Jolley recommends that everyone who is in braces wear a mouthguard during physical activities that involve the possibility of contact with other people or objects. A mouthguard will greatly reduce any impact that you could have if anything was to hit your mouth. It will also protect the braces, the gums, the che...
