Braces are an exciting time for many people. The anticipation of seeing a new, sparkling, straightened smile is something we all look forward to. However, sometimes when the braces come off, we are left with white spot lesions on our teeth. White spot lesions are areas on the surface of the teeth that appear as prominent white spots. These spots are most commonly seen in children, especially those who consume a lot of sugar or have poor oral hygiene. These white spots indicate the beginning of tooth decay or cavities in the mouth. White spot lesions occur due to a process called demineralization, which is the removal of minerals from the tooth enamel and dentin layers. This demineralization is caused by the action of acids, which are produced when bacteria in the mouth react with food, specifically sugars and carbohydrates. The presence of braces can exacerbate this reaction if proper oral hygiene is not maintained. White spot lesions can be a disappointment after braces treatment, but there are various treatment options available to address them. Maintaining good oral hygiene, following the recommendations of your dentist, and seeking professional dental care can help prevent and treat white spot lesions. Remember, with proper care and treatment, you can achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.
