Six Month Smiles Quiz
- True or False: Misalignment can lead to tooth decay or gum disease.
- True or False: Your Rochester MN dentists offer orthodontic solutions.
- True or False: This system corrects smiles in half a year.
- True or False: We will assess your smile before recommending orthodontic treatment.
Answer Key
- True. Uneven teeth make thorough brushing and flossing difficult, offering safe hiding places for harmful oral bacteria and food particles. This provides a perfect breeding ground for plaque, which coats the teeth. Plaque can then weaken tooth enamel and cause gum inflammation, boosting a patient’s risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
- True. To correct crooked or crowded smiles, we may suggest orthodontic treatment. At our office, we offer two popular and practically invisible methods: Clear Aligner Systems and Six Month Smiles.
- True. With the Six Month Smiles system, we place clear brackets on the teeth and connect them with a tooth-colored arch wire. Less noticeable than traditional metal braces, this system then corrects minor misalignment in a matter of months, instead of a year and a half to two years.
- True. Before receiving treatment, we will make sure this is the best treatment option for your smile. Dr. Calcagno or Dr. Heimer will employ digital x-rays and intraoral cameras to carefully exam your teeth and their placement. Then, our office can decide which of our orthodontic treatment options will work best for you.
