Cavities and Braces :o?

My sister called me to ask you all a question. She has braces and the ortho told her they required the patients to get their teeth cleaned professionally at least once during the braces treatment. She went today and the dentist told her she has a couple of cavities in 1-2 molars. She's now afraid that when they take the braces off in bout 10mths she'll have big black holes or cavities showing when they take the brackets off.

So we wanted to know if the ortho will take her braces completely off, get the cavities filled and then put braces back on or what??

they should

Most of the time, all that will happen is that the dentist will remove the bracket on the cavity filled tooth(teeth). They will then fill the cavity. Cavities CAN and usually ARE filled while people still have their braces on! All that happens is the bracket on the infected tooth is removed for the procedure, then placed back on. Your dentist would have to be crazy to not fill them while they were small- they will only get more painful and endanger the tooth more as time goes on! Go get em filled! Good Luck!

I HAVE BRACES AND IM TELLING YOU..DONT GET CLEAR OR WHITE. THEY GET STAINED REALLY EASILY. YOU SHOULD EXPERIAMENT, C WHAT U LIKE AND WHAT YOU DONT LIKE. OR ACCORDING TO THE HOLIDAY. RIGHT NOW I HAVE RED.. IF NOT, BLACK IS ALWAYS A GOOD COLOR CHOICE. YOU CANT GO WRONG.HUHUHUHUH
