Your First Visit To The OrThodontist

Before you come to see the Orthodontist you may have some questions you would like answered about this first visit.

Why have I been referred to the Orthodontist?

Your dentist would like specialist advice about the position of your teeth. The Orthodontist will advise whether you would benefit from Orthodontic treatment.

What is Orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontic treatment usually involves the wearing of braces (removable or fixed) often the extraction of teeth, and very occasionally jaw surgery.

Why might I need orthodontic treatment?

There are 3 main reasons for having Orthodontic treatment:

To improve the appearance of the teeth.
To improve function i.e. to make it easier to eat.
To improve the health of the teeth and gums.

What will happen at my first appointment?

It is likely the orthodontist will have a look at your mouth and teeth using a small mouth mirror and a ruler. X-rays, photographs and moulds (impressions) may also be taken. All of these measurements and records will help the orthodontist decide which is the best treatment for you.

What will happen next?

There are likely to be four possible outcomes, each of which will be explained to you in plain and simple language by the orthodontist. These include:

You are not ready for treatment, in which case you may need to see the orthodontist again when you are older.
Your dental health is not good enough. This may be due to poor toothbrushing or decayed teeth. Your dentsit may send you to the orthodontist again when things have improved.
You do not need treatment because the position of your teeth is prefectly acceptable, or expected to be.
You are ready for treatment and need to decide whether to go ahead.

What happens if I am ready to start treatment?

The orthodontist will explain:

The options for treatment and which is best for you.
The pros and cons of treatment.
The length of time the treatment will take.
The commitment needed on your part if treatment is to be successful.
When you can expect the treatment to begin.

At this point you will be given the chance to ask any questions. If you would like to go ahead with the treatment, the orthodontist will ask you sign aconsent form.

When will treatment start?

This will depend on:

How many of your adult teeth have come through. Many treatments are best left until the adult teeth have replaced the first teeth.
Problems with toothbrushing or tooth decay which may have to be dealt with.
The length of any waiting list for the particular orthodontic treatmen you need.
The degree of urgency for your particular case. For example, certain types of bite are best treated while you are growing fast and would be given priority. Other types of treatment may need to be delayed until growth of the face has almost stopped.

Your orthodontist will explain the exact timing of the treatment for you.

Who will carry out the treatment?

The orthodontist carries out the treatment personally. Your dentist will usually carry out any extractions that are necessary as part of the treatment.

What to eat when wearing braces

Whether you wear a fixed or removable brace during your orthodontic treatment it is important to monitor your diet to ensure optimal tooth health. However careful you are about brushing and mouth-rinsing, some braces can make it harder to keep your mouth clean. Not only must your oral hygiene be good, but you must watch what you eat.

When wearing fixed appliances it soon becomes clear that crunchy and chewy foods are the enemy, however they are not the only enemy. Advice on diet from orthodontic specialists will focus on the welfare of the braces and you will be warned against toffees, popcorn, gum and hard foods such as crunchy apples or carrots, nuts and crusty bread.

Here are a few tips on helpful ingredients for future shopping lists:

Go for low acid (ph greater than 4.5) options, such as bananas, mangoes, melons, soups, pasta, milk, dairy foods, vegetables, meat, poultry, seafood and eggs.
Any recipe you choose must make it easy to bite and chew so vegetables should be chopped small or cooked or pureed.
Starchy foods can stick to your teeth and do harm so try and keep snacks like crisps to a minimum. Why not choose wraps, tortilla or pitta to replace conventional breads and consider dishes such as risotto or lasagne for minimum chewing and crunching?
For breakfast, porridge is a fantastic option. It’s much easier than muesli which combines crunchiness with chewiness.
Drinks and foods with high acid content have the most potential for harm. Some of these may appear quite health-giving, such as fruits and their juices, fruit tea and balsamic vinegar but the acids they contain temporarily soften tooth enamel and can lead to a condition called acid erosion.
Be wary of carbonated drinks or over-consumption of anything with a lot of vinegar, such as salad dressings or pickles.
Keep sweet foods and drinks to a minimum, especially when you have braces on.

How to maintain your oral hygiene

Oral hygiene is incredibly important; however, a regular and meticulous oral hygiene routine becomes doubly important when wearing braces. Without a high standard of hygiene during your orthodontic treatment, damage to the teeth and gums can occur within a few hours as a result of a build up of plaque and/or food substances.

Here is some advice on how best to avoid this:

Brush your teeth regularly

While you are wearing braces, it is necessary to brush your teeth at least four times a day after every meal using fluoride-based toothpaste. To ensure you do this, make sure you take a toothbrush with you to school, work or when out socialising. If you do not develop this routine, the enamel of your teeth will be permanently stained and damaged in places which are exposed to attack by food and plaque acids. This is known as decalcification. Even if you have a removable brace it is necessary to brush your teeth after meals to prevent the build up of destructive plaque.

To avoid decalcification:

Brush for three to five minutes using a large headed toothbrush to remove all the food and plaque on the teeth. Use short, fast and firm, forwards and backwards motions, making sure you brush above and below your brace to clean your gum-lines.
Use an interspace toothbrush to access all the areas missed by the large headed toothbrush. Firmly brush so that the bristles spread out in between the wires, brackets and gum margins.
After brushing and before you go to bed use a fluoride mouthwash to help strengthen the teeth.

If you are using an electric toothbrush, use a brand or model recommended by your orthodontist. Some electric toothbrushes come with orthodontic appliances to make it easier to clean your brace.

Use disclosing tablets

Disclosing tablets help you identify the parts of your mouth where food or plaque gathers. A disclosing tablet should be used three times a week. This is done by placing the disclosing tablet in your mouth, chewing thoroughly and spreading the saliva to all tooth and gum surfaces using your tongue, until the red stain is spread evenly. At this point you should spit out the saliva and rinse your mouth out with water. The areas of plaque will be stained red and will show where you are missing and not brushing properly. Then brush your teeth until all the stains are removed.
