Words of Wisdom No.9: “Brush Your Teeth When You First Get Out of Bed and Before You Get Back In at Night“

Last Updated on 

One of the smartest habits to get into is brushing your teeth after you wake and before you go to bed. This helps to eliminate most of the bacteria that would calcify upon your teeth, which in turn would lead to tartar build-up. When you couple brushing with flossing and rinsing, the amount of bacteria allowed to live within your mouth reduces even further. Your teeth will be able to undergo the process of remineralization, and weak spots should heal.

When is Brushing Not Enough?

While this is a great schedule to follow, brushing regularly won’t fix every problem with your mouth. Your teeth will still likely develop one or two cavities, but this is highly dependent upon your diet and your genetics.

Even if your teeth remain perfect, they may be misaligned. Malocclusion is one of the most common reasons that people do not smile.

The good news is that teeth alignment issues can be fixed by using invisible braces. Invisalign appliances lack the metal fixtures most people are familiar with, which in turn means that they can be more comfortable and less intrusive on your life.

Don’t Forget to Brush

If you do make the decision to visit an orthodontist to obtain braces, it’s important that you remember to continue to brush your teeth on a regular basis. This will give your teeth the boost they need to stay healthy, which in turn will help keep them beautiful.

Invisalign can be used by your orthodontist to reshape your smile into something you can’t help but show to everyone. This can boost your self-confidence, open new opportunities, and give you a reason to really take care of your teeth.
