When you are ignoring your oral health, you can experience an assortment of health problems in the future. First, it is important to brush and floss each day to avoid having cavities in your teeth or inflammation in your gums. In addition, oral hygiene can prevent halitosis that is embarrassing and offensive. Keeping your mouth clean may also keep you from having a coated tongue or palate that is covered with bacteria. If you aren’t brushing and flossing along with using mouthwash, then the bacteria in your mouth can enter your tonsils, throat or esophagus, leading to additional infections. The bacteria can also enter your bloodstream, leading to deeper infections in your internal organs.
Consume a Nutritious Diet
Oral health includes consuming a nutritious diet that includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins along with low-fat dairy foods. You should avoid eating sticky foods that can damage your teeth, and you should also avoid soft drinks that can cause tooth decay. When your teeth are close together or overlapping, removing food debris and bacteria is difficult, but you can buy an oral irrigator to blast away these items to protect your teeth from damage.

While this will help your teeth and gums to remain healthier, if you have dental malocclusions, then visiting an orthodontist to have your teeth straightened is essential. If you have misaligned teeth, then it can lead to several problems, including making it difficult to chew food along with brushing and flossing your teeth. With an examination, you can learn if you have mild, moderate or serious dental malocclusions of your teeth. The types of malocclusions that you have can determine what type of braces or aligners that you can wear.
Adults and teenagers can wear clear plastic aligners or braces, but children can only wear braces. You would receive 20 to 30 sets of aligners to repair the misalignments of your teeth. If you must wear braces, then you might prefer ceramic braces that have color-matching ceramic brackets. Additional braces include devices that have self-ligating wires or traditional braces that are affordable. You can improve your oral health with braces or aligners.

Excellent service and treatment!

Category: orthodontistWe have been seeing Dr. St. Loius at Central Texas Orthodontics for a couple kids now over several years. Everytime we walk in for an appointment, we are greeted warmly and promptly taken back. The office is easy to get to and always runs on time, we have never had to wait to be seen, which is remarkable for a medical/dental office! The payment options were also fair and easy to understand. And the follow up, even after those braces come off, has been stellar! Retainers get lost or chewed up sometimes (ugg!), but a quick text into the office and we were able to drop off the original molds and have new ones made very quickly. Everyone who works at this office truly cares, and you can tell they all enjoy where they work, which is really wonderful to see. I cannot speak highly enough of this office, the staff, the care, and ESPECIALLY the after care and protecting our investment.

Category: orthodontistDr. St. Louis and his staff are exceptional! Their professional, friendly and caring manner stand out every time I have an appointment. They are always very positive during my visits and make me feel like I’m part of their family. I never have to wait to be seen and I’m usually out in a minimal amount of time. I had my last orthodontic visit recently and they invited me to stop in anytime, just to say hello. I highly recommend Central Texas Orthodontics to anyone needing their services. They are truly the BEST!

Category: orthodontistDr. B. and his team are fantastic: Everyone just truly cares! They are knowledgeable and super helpful, always happy to consult. I recommend CTO not only for children and teens, but for adults as well! My two teenage daughters got their braces and I got my Invisalign. Dr. B. took his time to go over all our treatment plans and make adjustments. The communication is seamless and very responsive. All team members are wonderful - my special shoutout goes to Beatrice and Christen though: Those two lovely ladies go above and beyond with everything they do! Thanks to y’alls fabulous care our teeth are all straight now!
