Myths Around Wearing Braces

Braces, actually are tough to put and difficult to wear all the time. For all the time it stays in your teeth, it troubles you with your eating habits, your brushing habits, your oral hygiene and many more. In addition, people have attached many myths along with wearing braces. The most common of them is that braces once put in cannot be removed until the target is achieved and this unfortunately holds true. There are many other myths associated with braces, which are not true and are busted with time. Here are two of them:

1.Chewing gums

If you have heard that after wearing braces in New York you will not be able to chew gums then this is not correct. This was myth a few decades back but today chewing sugar free gums help in the orthodontist treatment in the country. Chewing gum increases the formation of saliva in your mouth that in turn helps a lot in the dental treatment. The extra slippery mouth gets littler hurt by the braces.

2.Faster Braces 

If you have heard of a term called ‘faster braces’ in New York City that will align your teeth fast then this is absolutely wrong. Braces definitely are responsible to align one’s teeth but it happens over a period of time as per the bone dynamics of a person. An individual’s biology will decide how fast or slow one’s teeth will be aligned. Your dentist will tell you how.
