PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – Lots of patients ask about clear brackets when getting braces, but some brands are giving other clear brackets an undeserved bad reputation for staining easily.
It’s true that some brands of less expensive clear brackets become discolored with wear, said Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth, who owns an Eagan and Minneapolis, MN orthodontics practice. Foods such as tomato sauces, soft drinks, coffee, tea and grape juices can discolor some clear brackets over time.
However, there are some quality brackets on the market that do not stain. The Minneapolis, MN orthodontist uses Inspire ICE brackets, manufactured by Ormco Orthodontics. The brackets, made from crystal-clear sapphire, are more stain resistant than brackets made from porcelain or plastic compounds, which can be more porous.

ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – Facial piercings in the lips, tongue and cheeks have become popular forms of self-expression among teens and young adults.

ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – Patients of the Apple Valley orthodontics practice of Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth gave generously once again this year during her annual candy buy-back program.
Patients donated close to 800 pounds of candy, which will be donated to U.S. Troops serving overseas, said Eisenhuth, an Apple Valley, MN orthodontist.
The candy buy-back program, which is in its fifth year, was designed to remove the temptation among Eisenhuth’s patients to eat chewy, sticky candies that could damage their braces by donating those potentially damaging candies in exchange for tokens that could be turned in for prizes. Patients received one token for every pound of candy they donated, and prizes included gift cards and toys.
The donated candy is shipped to U.S. soldiers who are stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Eisenhuth also ships toothbrushes and dental floss along with the candy, she said.
“Eating candy is fine, as long as you brush your teeth afterward,” said the Apple Valley Invisalign provider. “That’s why we include the dental care products in our care package to the soldiers.” (more…)
