Braces Sacramento can enhance the aesthetics of your teeth, smile and looks. They can correct crooked/overlapping teeth, lessen cavities and can enhance your self-confidence by improving your smile. But one needs to take great care of braces especially during orthodontic treatment. Only this will produce positive outcomes once the treatment is completed. In our previous blog, we have explained 6 methods of teeth whitening after removing your braces in Sacramento. Read on to discover five essential pointers which will enable you to take good care of braces when your orthodontic treatment is going on from below.
Flossing twice a day or after a meal regularly can help cleanse the area between teeth and keep germs and plaque from accumulating. Flossing can reach those spots that even a toothbrush could miss. The usage of a floss threader is suggested because it can safely and easily navigate around your brackets and braces. It is pivotal to floss twice in twenty-four hours, especially post lunch and right before bedtime. This practice will keep decay and gum disease away.
Brush your teeth and braces thoroughly after every meal and before bedtime. The strokes must be soft and the toothpaste must be a fluoride toothpaste. The usage of an interdental toothbrush is suggested. This toothbrush can reach the hard-to-reach regions even if they are underwires.
The orthodontist is the dentist in charge of fitting the braces in Sacramento and aiding you to straighten the teeth. If you skip orthodontic appointments regularly, the duration to wear braces will stretch further. If rescheduling is necessary, then don't hesitate to do it in the coming days. Pushing it by a month or two will nullify the effect of orthodontic treatment on you.
If the orthodontist has suggested the usage of elastics, be sure to wear them every time except during meals or while brushing. This measure needs cooperation on the patient's part. Wearing the appropriate elastics and keeping extras to meet any eventualities will ensure that the teeth don't move back to the original place.
While undergoing orthodontic treatment, one must refrain from consuming certain food items. Foods that are sticky, sour, hard, or chewy can have adverse effects and prolong your treatment time and delay the results. The usual suspects to avoid include food items namely taco shells, gums, caramels, ice, chips, nuts or hard candies.

Patient Testimonials
Beautiful office, friendly staff, terrific dental care.
by Trevor Derrett
Had a great visit today and got to know the people that work there. They made me feel comfortable as the change of ownership is taking place.
by Bonnie Schrader
I am so impressed with the entire experience. From the friendly reminders, to entering the office, and especially the dentist! My previous dentist Stephen C Ott, DDS, was incredible. I had the benefits of his gift since 1971. I was worried about finding a new dentist. However, I was blessed to have Dr. Ott recommend his dentist: Dr. Lillian Stojic. I recommend her to all!!!

Dr. Lilliana and her staff make getting teeth cleaned and a cavity filled as good an experience as possible. They get the job done with minimal pain and discomfort.

I just had a visit to Dr. Stojic's office. My ten year old daughter had an infected tooth that had to be extracted. She was so nervous and scared at the possibility of an extraction. When we arrived we were greeted warmly by her office manager and then by her equally kind assistant who brought us back to her room...

Dr. Lilliana and her staff are not only effective and efficient, but they also remove my anxiety. When I had to have a root canal, I was nervous about the pain. I was given the choice of Nitrous oxide gas and that calmed me.

Dr. Stojic saw two of my children. The youngest was so comforted by her easygoing and confident demeanor that he was the quietest and most still 4 year old I've seen in a dentist chair! Our older son was very afraid of the dentist and has been to a couple other dentists who were unable to treat him because of his scared behavior. Dr. Stojic was very patient and helped him understand what she was doing at every step, which calmed him down so she was able to fill his cavities and even extract a tooth. We were thoroughly impressed with Dr. Stojic and her office and staff.
