Orthodontist in Edgware restoring smiles

Katz and Madhok Orthodontics have been treating patients at the practice for the last thirty years. We understand the importance of having a radiant smile, but equally that your mouth must be healthy and capable of performing the function for which it was designed. The health of your mouth can affect that of your entire body, so maintaining a healthy mouth is key to your overall wellbeing.

The importance of oral hygiene

Oral hygiene is always extremely important if you are to maintain a healthy mouth. As an orthodontist in Edgware when we have a patient under treatment we go to great lengths to educate them on the correct maintenance for their teeth. When you are wearing braces it is important to use a soft bristled toothbrush with a small amount of fluoride toothpaste. Brushing slowly and very carefully in a circular motion to remove any food particles. It is vital that you brush above and below your brace and by holding the brush at an angle you will also be able to brush between your teeth. Flossing takes more care and can be tricky, but by getting under the archwire it will be possible to move the floss up and down until you are satisfied that your teeth are clean. Interdental brushes are ideal for cleaning underneath and around your archwires and braces. Afterwards always rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash, helping to ensure that you do not suffer from any infection or irritation. If you have aligners fitted these can be removed to allow you to eat and clean your teeth, but they must be worn for twenty-two hours per day.

It’s now easier than ever to have a perfect smile

As a practising orthodontist in Edgware for the past three decades, we have experienced an amazing improvement in the types of braces and aligners available. We regularly attend seminars and training on the latest products and techniques to ensure that you always receive the best treatment. The old, uncomfortable, metal type brace that many young children used to wear is now vastly improved and is supported by numerous new apparatus, to cope with different dental conditions.
