Las Vegas Orthodontist Reviews The Right Diet While Wearing Braces.

If your current diet consists of sticky and hard foods you can potentially affect your brackets on your braces , loosen your bands or reshape your wires, thus, leading to an extended amount of time you will need treatment. Of course, we always recommend that you limit the amount of sugar in your diet. Typically, foods that are high in sugar are also sticky.

Softer foods that are low in sugar are better, but you are not limited to those types of foods. Our practice recommends that you steer clear of the following foods:

Brittle

Hard Candy

Raw Carrots

Bubble Gum

Chips

Nuts

Popcorn

Las Vegas Orthodontist answers question about Childrens Orthodontics

When should I start thinking about orthodontic treatments/exams for my child?

In the age range of 6 to 12 – when the child’s adult teeth begin to arise and malocclusions begin to appear. According to the ADA, the ages of 8 to 14 is when orthodontic treatment should begin and can have the biggest impact on the children’s dental health. We recommend for your child orthodontic treatment to begin at the age of 7. At this age we suggest pediatric orthodontics – because they have a combination of their permanent teeth and baby teeth so we can contain problems with teeth and jaw growth that could be harmful to your child’s dental health. Regular dentistry and orthodontics examinations are very important for the child’s health.
