If your braces have just been removed and you notice stains or white spots on your teeth, don't worry too much. Such discolorations are very common. In most cases it is still possible to improve the appearance.
An orthodontist in Dubai can recommend a treatment that is right for you. Some common treatment options include:
Teeth whitening
There are many types of products for teeth whitening in Dubai, from toothpaste to strips to gels and more. Ask your dentist for the best advice. Whitening products are most effective after your braces are removed. However, if you have braces, using whitening toothpaste with an electric toothbrush can help prevent staining.
Remineralization
If it is not possible to restore the lost tooth enamel, it is possible to stop the demineralization and the white spots that often accompany it. Brushing your teeth regularly, eliminating sugar from your diet, reducing your intake of fruit and dairy products, and taking vitamin and probiotic supplements can help remineralize your teeth.
Composite restoration
If your braces have damaged your teeth, your dentist or orthodontist may recommend a composite restoration. A tooth-colored plastic is glued to the teeth so that the color and shape appear more natural and healthier.
Micro abrasion
This involves removing the top layer of your tooth enamel to correct the color of your teeth with pumice or diamond stone. It is generally very effective in improving the appearance of teeth and works on both white spots and discolorations.
Veneers
If discoloration is severe, orthodontist or cosmetic dentist in Dubai may advise you to get veneers. They are thin, tooth-colored shells that are attached to the front of the teeth.
