Many people assume that their mouths must be healthy if they haven’t noticed any immediate or visible concerns, such as tooth decay or dark, swollen, or bleeding gums.
A gap between the two front teeth, known as a diastema, is a common cosmetic concern for many people. While some embrace it as a unique feature, others prefer a more uniform, gap-free smile.
Not all of us are lucky enough to develop a perfectly straight smile. The good news is that if you have misalignment issues, a mouthful of metal brackets and wires aren’t your only option. Invisalign can be used to slowly shift your teeth into their rightful locations.
You should brush your teeth at least twice a day to remove any plaque build up. When you have braces it should be even more frequent.
The key to success is flossing consistently day after day. You can floss anywhere and at any time!
