Carroll Orthodontics

Ever noticed some chalky patches on your teeth? 🦷 Let’s talk about it!

A lot of people think the brackets cause them, but that’s actually a myth! Here is the scoop:

➡️ Braces themselves don't cause spots; it's actually plaque and acid hanging out too long on your enamel.

➡️ Those cloudy marks are a sign of "demineralization"—basically, the tooth is losing its minerals.

➡️ It’s an early warning sign that a cavity might be trying to start!

➡️ Orthodontic appliances can trap food, making it easier for plaque to hide.

➡️ The good news? They are totally preventable with great oral hygiene.

If you have questions about your braces, or need some personalized advice, we are here to guide you! Give us a call and we're happy to help.
