Why Get Orthodontic Braces?

It's common to believe that the benefit of seeking orthodontic treatment is just about straightening teeth.
Straight teeth, a beautiful smile and increase in self esteem are just a few of the benefits of wearing orthodontic braces.

Do you know that choosing orthodontic treatment for your child helps insure their overall health throughout their lifetime.



Studies show that individuals who have worn braces have a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease.

But orthodontic braces aren't just for teenagers. 20% of all orthodontic patients are over the age of 18 and people over the age of 60 have had successful orthodontic treatment.

Do something today to increase your overall health - seek an orthodontic consultation from a Certified Calgary Orthodontist - and you'll be smiling for more than one reason.

Calgary Braces Expert Shares Brushing Tips

There's nothing as disappointing as removing braces on perfectly straight teeth, only to diagnose tooth decay.

Why can tooth decay be an issue when wearing braces?


More times than not it's due to lack of brushing or poor brushing technique.  Don't fall into the trap of brushing just before bed.  You've probably eaten some sticky food and maybe even drank the odd soda during the day - that means you have to brush more frequently and be more diligent when you brush.

Here are some quick tips on how to avoid increase risk of tooth decay and to keep your teeth clean.

• Make sure your toothbrush is wet and place about 2 cm of toothpaste on the brush
• Spread the toothpaste evenly on both your top and bottom teeth
• Brush carefully for 2 minutes - using a timer can make this part easier
• Take a sip of water and rinse the mouth, try not to spit the toothpaste out for 30 seconds
• Don't rinse again and try not to eat or drink anything for 2 hours
• Make sure you're brushing before bed, and in the morning after breakfast. If you can, carry a toothbrush with you so you can brush after lunch
• And remember to keep your regular cleaning appointments with your general dentist!  

Cory Liss Orthodontics is happy to answer any questions you may have on reducing tooth decay during orthodontic treatment - 403-287-0746

...Cory Liss Orthodontics is a wonderful place to go,
My family goes there and we all know,

You will be caring for me and you have treatedmy Dad,
Both of us would really like to win the iPad.

We would use it a lot; we know it would be great,
To have an iPad along with teeth that are straight,

I can use it for Facebook, Twitter and of course the odd video game,
For my schoolwork, reading tablet books, getting better marks is the aim.

You are all fabulous to every person that you see,
I may be shy and quiet but you are always friendly to me,

Cory Liss Orthodontics is totally number one,
A team of people, who care for patients and have lots of fun.

Thank you for what you do, letting you know that I would be so very glad,
