Does bonded braces really damage teeth?

Does bonded braces really damage teeth?

Contrary to popular belief, bonded braces do not damage the tooth structure.

In layman's terms, the adhesive or brackets themselves leave stains on the surface of your teeth, which become visible and irreversible once the braces are removed.

Yes, it is true that there are cases of discolouration of the teeth during orthodontic treatment, but this is only due to the cleaning of the teeth and good oral hygiene.

It is therefore essential to regularly dental hygiene treatment during and after orthodontic treatment.


The dental hygienist removes the tartar that has formed and thus minimises the chance of developing diseases caused by tartar, prevents the bacteria that cause gingivitis from multiplying. In addition highlights areas neglected for cleaning and help you choose the most effective tool and method. It will advise you on how to use it correctly for perfectly clean teeth. 

Glued appliances promote the adhesion and accumulation of plaque.

Deposited food waste provides an ideal breeding ground for bacteria in the oral cavity. They produce an acidic chemical when they break down carbohydrates. When the pH of the oral cavity drops below 5.2-5.7 (critical pH), minerals start to leach from the tooth enamel and tooth decay starts. However, there are reversible stages in this process.

With the right care, technique and tools, teeth can be kept perfectly clean at every stage of treatment. With regular check-ups, tooth discolouration and decay can be avoided.
