As long as you brush really good, between the gum and the braces you will be perfectly fine. Just try to brush atleast 1 time a day but 2 or 3 is reccomened. Don't stress over it, just keep on doing your thing and brush for 2 minutes and you'll be ffffine!
Reply:as long as you are brushing and rinsing regularly you should be fine!! I had them and never got any spots.. If you do happen to you can get your teeth bleached after...
Reply:well the white marks are scars from not taking care of your teeth if youu brush your teeth regular and do everything that the ortho tells you than i think you'll be fine. oh don't use whitening tooth past or anything that whitens your teeth. but if your talking about the white marks or squares left from your braces same thing take care of your teeth!

Reply:You will NOT develop "white spots" if you brush your teeth 2X a day.





These white spots are know as decalcified/demineralized areas. They form when you have not removed the bacterial plaque from you teeth, and you eat something. The bacteria use the carbs and starches from the food that you ate as a food source and they produce an acid waste product. The acids eats away at your enamel and causes these white areas. If you were to still not brush after they have formed, they would turn into cavities/tooth decay. So, like I said before, if you maintain perfect oral hygiene, there will not be enough bacteria on your teeth to produce acid and destroy the enamel on your teeth.
Reply:Does it really matter? your teeth will be nice and straight. and any marks will be taken care by your dentist. Good luck and enjoy life.
