Great question!

If you are brushing and flossing daily during your orthodontic treatment with Dr. Bruce Jiorle, we think that’s great! But, don’t forget that it’s also important for you to visit your general dentist every 3-to-6 months in addition to brushing your teeth and flossing (and visiting Marble Hill Orthodontics). Regular dental checkups are important for maintaining good oral health, especially during orthodontic treatment.

Tooth decay, which is caused by sugars left in your mouth, can turn into an acid, which in turn can break down your teeth. Children are at high risk for tooth decay because adolescents tend to be lax in their oral hygiene habits. Proper brushing and flossing routines, combined with regular dental visits, help keep tooth decay away.

If you have any questions, please be sure to keep ask Dr. Bruce Jiorle or our team during your next adjustment appointment, or ask us on Facebook!

It’s summer here at Marble Hill Orthodontics, a season full of vacations, adventures and great memories. Whether you are headed to a barbecue, a camping trip, hitting America’s open roads or just having fun in the backyard, Dr. Bruce Jiorle and our team want to hear all about it!

We encourage you to post any photos from your adventures to our Facebook wall!

Happy travels!

According to the American Dental Association, a person's smile outranked eyes, hair and body as the most important physical feature, which is why it's important for our team at Marble Hill Orthodontics to support National Smile Month this June.
