Getting your braces off is an exciting time. But what if the big reveal shows off not only a set of beautifully straight teeth but white spots, too? You could be left wondering, “Why do I have white spots on my teeth after braces?” For sure, this can feel deflating and a bit alarming: are white spots from braces permanent?

Dr. Brady Okuda and the team at Okuda Orthodontics want to reassure you that white spots on teeth from braces can be corrected. Of course, prevention is always preferable, but we understand that sometimes our teeth aren’t in the best shape they could be, despite our best efforts. Let’s take a step back and find out all there is to know about white spots on teeth.

​In this post, Dr. Okuda will cover: What are white spots on teeth? Why do I have white spots on my teeth? How do I prevent white spots from braces? How to fix white spots on my teeth after braces

We all know that braces and Invisalign are proven ways to straighten teeth. Through technology, they work to gradually improve your smile and align your bite over a period of time. But as effective as these orthodontic treatments are, they often need support from additional tools. One of the little helpers we use most often at The Brace Place is orthodontic rubber bands. Rubber bands can help us reach your desired smile outcome, here’s how...

Seeing your little baby snoozing comfortably in their crib with their tiny thumb in their mouth can be an adorable sight. Yet, it can also bring a bit of worry to parents. Will thumb sucking damage my baby’s teeth? Should we put a stop to our child sucking their thumb? Am I going to have to start saving for braces to fix their smile one day? Take a deep breath because the good news is, a baby sucking their thumb is nothing to worry about. The same goes for pacifiers. However, once your child gets a little older—if the thumb sucking habit continues—there can be concerns. As Mustang, Norman and OKC orthodontists, we get asked these questions a lot, which is why we’re sharing our guide to pacifiers, thumb sucking and teeth.

Keeping kids active while they’re at home is crucial. We all know that it’s good for their physical and mental health. Plus, moving around burns off some of that excess energy in a fun way. Dr. Scramstad, as a father himself, knows that coming up with new activities can be a struggle. So the team at Align Orthodontics thought we would assist by sharing some of our go-to ideas for keeping kids active at home.

By now, you’ve probably heard about the many d   o-it-yourself orthodontic treatments on the market that promise cheaper and faster results. At Sensational Smiles, we understand the  temptation of a potentially more affordable and seemingly quicker route to the smile of your dreams. But these mail-order systems are basically DIY orthodontics. You wouldn’t try to complete a filling on your own or pull your own tooth, right? So why would you DIY moving your teeth into place with aligners?

Big milestones like first steps and first words get a lot of attention, but what’s just as important to celebrate (and prepare for) are events like their first dental appointment. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit the dentist by their first birthday, or at least six months after the signs of their first tooth. The dentists at Palmetto Smiles agree: your child’s little smile develops quickly and beginning dental care at an early age will set them up for lifelong health.
