Orthodontic treatment is more than just aligning teeth — it’s a period when oral hygiene demands double the attention. Brackets, wires, and bands create small spaces that trap food and plaque, making brushing and flossing more challenging. When plaque isn’t removed properly, it hardens into tartar and creates the perfect environment for bacteria to cause cavities, gum inflammation, and white spot lesions around brackets.

Research shows that patients wearing braces are at a higher risk of developing enamel demineralization within weeks of poor cleaning habits. The bacteria responsible for tooth decay release acids that dissolve the outer enamel surface, often without pain or visible symptoms in the early stages. These marks and cavities can become permanent, even after the braces come off — leaving behind irreversible stains or structural damage.

Maintaining good oral hygiene during braces isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about protecting long-term oral health. Using an orthodontic toothbrush, interdental brushes, and fluoride mouthwash helps prevent bacterial buildup and mineral loss. Regular professional cleanings and check-ups ensure early detection of plaque accumulation and decay before they spread.

FIRST MOLAR- Bakit lagi unang nasisira?

Hindi normal, Pero madalas na unang nasisira or nagkakaroon ng caries ang mga Permanent first molars.

Bakit?

Dahil ang Permanent first molars ang unang Permanent teeth na tumutubo —Meaning sila ang unang ngipin na naeexpose sa oral cavity.

Madalas tumutubo ang 1st Molars sa age na 6-7 yrs old— sa edad din na ito is hindi pa gaano maalaga ang mga bata sa ngipin thats why maaga nagkakasira or nabubulok ang mga ngipin (dito dapat pumasok ang responsibility ng mga magulang na imonitor ang ngipin ng kanilang mga anak)

Anong dapat gawin?
1. Brush ng maayos ang mga ngipin (Spit no rinse— para maretain ang fluoride sa ngipin ng bata)
2. Regular checkup sa dentist to monitor kung need na bang pastahan or kung pwede lang magaapply ng fluoride treamtent para mapatibay ang ngipin.
3. pwede din maglagay ng sealants sa ngipin para maiwasan na magkaroon ng food na naiipit sa mga linya or grooves ng ngipin na nagiging dahilan ng maagang pagkasira nito.

Lahat ng nabangit sa taas ay pwedeng maiwasan, Paano?

Make sure na maturuan natin ng maaga ang mga bata kung paano nila dapat alagaan ang kanilang mga ngipin 🫶🏻
