Keep Trying To Floss
Many people are really good about brushing their teeth, but usually skip flossing. This is a bad idea. Flossing is the only way to clean food debris and plaque from between teeth with metal braces. Failure to floss can lead to cavities, and even gum disease. Our recommendation? Brush twice a day, and floss before going to bed at night.Keep Trying to Overcome Dental Anxiety
Skipping dental checkups due to anxiety, or even phobia, can have long-term, irreversible consequences. But millions of Americans cope with this condition, and their solution is doing just that: skipping the dentist. For those whose instinct is to avoid the dentist at all costs: give sedation dentistry a try. We have two options: nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, and IV sedation for a deeper level of comfort. With IV sedation, you’ll need a ride to and from our office.Keep Trying to Quit Tobacco
Smoking is as bad for your teeth and gums as it is for other parts of your body. If you’ve tried to quit but just can’t, you’re far from alone According to the Centers for Disease Control, former smokers now outnumber active smokers. Everyone who has kicked the habit was once right where you are. Keep trying! Remember, the link between your dental health and overall health is well-established. At Sundance Dental & Orthodontics in Rio Rancho and Farmington NM, we offer complete family dentistry, and sedation dentistry for those who need it. Please call our office to schedule a cleaning and checkup today!Contact Sundance Dental & Orthodontics:

CLEAR BRACES
Clear braces are here to stay! Clear braces bring your teeth into proper alignment but make orthodontic treatment less conspicuous. You are left with a beautiful new smile when the treatment is finished. Clear braces are available at Sundance Dental & Orthodontics in Rio Rancho and Farmington NM.
Clear braces are an increasingly popular orthodontic option due to their aesthetic appeal. With minimal visibility, it won’t interfere with your appearance during treatment. In addition, they offer additional comfort and more adjustability than metal braces, making them an excellent choice for those looking for a discrete way to straighten their teeth. Moreover, clear braces are often seen as easier to clean than traditional metal ones and may be more comfortable for those with sensitive gums and nerves.
The proper name for clear braces is “aligners.” They look a lot like an athlete’s mouthguard. You wear a series of them to put pressure on your teeth, which brings them into alignment. Each set of aligners is worn from one to two weeks before you go to a new set. The new set changes the alignment slightly, so you have an ideal bite in time.
They must be worn for at least twenty-two hours each day to get the best results, although that time may vary slightly from one patient to the next. The total number of aligners each patient needs varies, too.
Some of the benefits of clear braces:
- They’re inconspicuous. People just a few feet away from you may not even realize you’re wearing them.
- They are removable. As noted, they must be worn most of the time. But you can take them out for meals, floss, and brush before bed.
- No metal in your mouth!
- Improved Oral Hygiene
- Cost-Effective Solution
