Holes in teeth after getting braces off?

at the dentist i always see pics off kids who just got there braces off but have holes in there teeth so my question is


can u tell if you have these holes before you get your braces off or are they only visible after you get your braces off

Holes in teeth after getting braces off?
the holes are cavities. its because they didnt brush, or they have a condition where they are prone to cavities because of weak enamel.





they also might have white spots which is decalcification, the regular dentist can fix those by polishing them out or putting some composite material on it.
Reply:maybe it's decay? braces aren't drilled into your teeth, they are glued.
Reply:You probably arent seeing holes, you are probably seeing left over glue that takes time to wear off.
Reply:That happened to me last year, when they removed my braces, the places where I couldn't brush hard enough were left with this ugly decay and left over glue . It looked horrible and gross, still to this day 10 months later they're still here (and the glue does not wer off at all!) thankfully I'm getting the 4 bad teeth bonded soon so they'll look normal.
Reply:EVERYONE has the ability to keep their teeth clean when they have braces. EVERYONE. There are no excuses for it. Make regular dental checkups, LISTEN to the hygienist when she tells you what tools to use and how to brush and how often, and most importantly, follow through.





People get "holes" or cavities or decalcification on their teeth after braces from not taking care of their teeth while the braces are on. It is imperative that you keep your teeth clean, above, below, and in between the braces. And get floss threaders so you can floss too.





If you can keep your teeth clean, you are NOT going to have problems.
