Teeth Cleaning

Veneers
Activities or foods which could damage, loosen or dislodge orthodontic appliances need to be avoided. Loosened or damaged orthodontic appliances can be inhaled or swallowed or could cause other damage to the patient. You should inform your orthodontist of any unusual symptoms or of any loose or broken appliances as soon as they are noticed. Damage to the enamel of a tooth or to a restoration (crown, bonding, veneer, etc.) is possible when ortho¬dontic appliances are removed. This problem may be more likely when esthetic (clear or tooth colored) appliances have been selected. If dam- age to a tooth or restoration occurs, restoration of the involved tooth/teeth by your dentist may be necessary.
Crowns
Due to the wide variation in the size and shape of the teeth, missing teeth, etc., achievement of an ideal result (for example, complete closure of a space) may not be possible. Restorative dental treatment, such as esthetic bonding, crowns or bridges or periodontal therapy, may be indicated. You are encouraged to ask your orthodon- tist and family dentist about adjunctive care.

Root Canal Treatment
A tooth that has been traumatized by an accident or deep decay may have experienced damage to the nerve of the tooth. Also, the nerve of a tooth may die for no apparent reason, and this is known as “spontaneous pulpal necrosis.” Orthodontic tooth movement may, in some cases, aggravate these conditions and cause root canal treatment to be necessary. In severe cases, the tooth or teeth, may be lost.

Dentures
Once a day, you should soak your appliance in a glass of room-temperature tap water with a denture-cleaning tablet, such as Polident or Efferdent. This will help prevent plaque build-up and oral infections and will keep your appliance tasting better. Do not use hot borders it can distort the appliance.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Smoking or chewing tobacco has been shown to increase the risk of gum disease and interferes with healing after oral surgery. Tobacco users are also more prone to oral cancer, gum recession, and delayed tooth movement during orthodontic treatment. If you use tobacco, you must carefully consider the possibility of a compromised orthodontic result.
Jaw Surgery
Some patients have significant skeletal disharmonies which require orthodontic treatment in conjunction with orthognathic (dentofacial) surgery. There are additional risks associated with this surgery which you should discuss with your oral and/or maxillofacial surgeon prior to beginning orthodontic treatment. Please be aware that orthodontic treatment prior to orthognathic surgery often only aligns the teeth within the individual dental arches. Therefore, patients discontinuing orthodontic treatment without completing the planned surgical procedures may have a malocclusion that is worse than when they began treatment!
Tooth Extractions

Orthodontics
Dr. Sophia Scantlebury attended Columbia University where she earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. She then went to the University of Florida where she received her certificate in orthodontics and a Master of Science in Dental Sciences with a specialization in orthodontics. She is board certified and has been practicing since 1998.
Invisalign Orthodontics
And while it’s important to correct teeth misalignment through orthodontic appliances, you can now do it in the most unnoticeable way—Invisalign. Invisalign Teen Brooklyn is the best way to achieve the perfect smile without anyone even knowing that you’re using Invisalign clear aligners.
Braces
We are the most self-conscious in our teenage years. In addition to the changes our bodies are going through, most teens don’t want to go through the ‘braces’ phase where they are conscious of the way they look.
