ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – Correcting a child’s overjet- commonly referred to as “buck teeth”- often is a priority among parents when it comes to orthodontic treatment.

EAGAN, ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – If you wear clear aligners or retainers, you know that keeping them clean and odor-free can be a challenge.
Dr. Jennifer Eisenhuth, a Minneapolis orthodontist, has a couple of tips for keeping Invisalign and other types of clear plastic aligners looking good.
Avoid Toothbrush/Toothpaste

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.

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.
