Maintaining rigorous oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment is one of the most important factors in ensuring a good final result. Whether with fixed braces or clear aligners, the presence of appliances in the mouth creates new areas where plaque and food debris can accumulate. When brushing is not adequate, the risk of cavities, gingivitis and white spots (decalcifications) increases significantly. For this reason, learning how to brush your teeth properly with braces is n

Tartar is one of the most common oral health problems and is frequently associated with bleeding gums, bad breath or the sensation of “dirty teeth”, even after brushing. Although many people consider it only an aesthetic issue, its presence can have a direct impact on the health of the gums and the supporting tissues of the teeth. Understanding what causes tartar on teeth is essential to prevent future complications and maintain stable oral health over time. What is tartar?

This is a common question: do clear aligners really work? Many people seek this solution for its aesthetics and comfort, but the effectiveness of treatment does not depend only on the type of appliance — it depends mainly on diagnosis, planning and correct clinical indication. What is commonly called a “clear appliance” refers, in practice, to invisible aligners: removable and virtually imperceptible devices that progressively correct tooth positioning. The real question is n

Tooth sensitivity is often associated with problems such as enamel wear or gum recession. However, many patients report that symptoms arise or intensify during periods of greater anxiety or stress. Although anxiety does not directly “create” a dental lesion, it can trigger functional mechanisms that contribute to the onset or worsening of sensitivity. The relationship between emotional factors, muscle tension, bruxism and occlusion is closer than many people imagine. Unders

Oral hygiene in children is one of the fundamental pillars of lifelong oral health. The care adopted in the early years has a direct impact not only on the prevention of cavities and gum disease, but also on the proper development of teeth, bite alignment, and future health habits. Despite this, many parents and caregivers still have questions about when to start brushing, how to adapt oral care to each age, and when to introduce dental floss. With appropriate information a

The need for orthodontic braces is not always obvious at first glance. In many cases, the signs appear gradually and can affect both children and adults. Recognising these signs early is essential to seek a specialised evaluation and determine whether orthodontic treatment is indicated. This article aims to help you identify the main signs of dental misalignment or malocclusion that justify a clinical assessment, reinforcing the importance of early diagnosis. What Does It Me

Cavities in baby teeth are much more than a “temporary” problem. Although baby teeth are eventually replaced, they play an essential role in chewing, speech, aesthetics, and—most importantly—in guiding the eruption of permanent teeth. When a cavity is left untreated, it can progress to pain, infection, and premature tooth loss, situations that may affect a child’s oral development and require more complex treatments in the future. In this article, we clearly explain what caus

The idea that orthodontic braces are only for teenagers is still common, but it does not always reflect clinical reality. In many situations, children can wear braces, particularly when there are jaw growth alterations, bite problems, or oral habits that interfere with proper dental development. Orthodontic monitoring during childhood allows these signs to be identified early and, when indicated, enables phased and growth-adapted intervention, with both functional and prevent

When we talk about oral health, we often think first of teeth. However, gums play an equally fundamental role: they support the teeth, protect the roots, and keep the mouth healthy. A balanced diet can be a great ally in preventing gum problems, helping to strengthen tissues and reduce inflammation.

Maintaining a balanced diet is essential for oral health, especially when you're wearing braces. During orthodontic treatment, your...
