Do braces leave marks on the teeth?
A. No. Braces, when properly applied, are sealed to the tooth s surface by an adhesive that is similar to the sealants used by your dentist to seal out cavities. Sometimes though, decalcification marks may be formed by inadequate brushing of teeth during orthodontic treatment. Dr. Prince provides a fluoride gel for home use that can help strengthen the tooth and prevent these problems. Q.
