Teens, stop! You do this every day and then wonder why you have cavities and sensitivity. Ready for the truth?

Top 3 “sins” that send teens to the dentist:

🥤 Chips and soda non-stop

• What happens: the sugar in soda and the starch in chips create the perfect breeding ground for bacteria that damage enamel and cause cavities. Plus, the acids in soda “eat away” at your teeth.
• What to do: if you can’t resist, rinse your mouth and use floss to remove leftover food!

🎮 Gaming until 4 a.m.

• What happens: lack of sleep weakens your immune system, making teeth more vulnerable to bacteria. Plus, during long gaming sessions, you often forget about oral hygiene and snack on junk food.
• What to do: stick to a sleep routine, take breaks from gaming, and don’t forget to brush before bed!

🛌 Going to bed without brushing

• What happens: overnight, bacteria multiply and destroy enamel. And if food particles are left in your mouth… even worse.
• What to do: brushing before bed is a must!

Remember: healthy teeth are an investment in your confidence and beauty. Start taking care of your smile today so you don’t have to spend money on treatment tomorrow!

How much toothpaste do you really need?

According to the American Dental Association (ADA):
• Adults need only a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste.
• Children under 3 should use just a smear the size of a grain of rice.

It’s your brushing technique, not the foam, that removes plaque and keeps your teeth clean. Using too much paste doesn’t make brushing more effective. It can cause excess swallowing in kids and even irritate enamel and gums.

✅ Stick to ADA’s recommendations to protect your teeth, save your toothpaste, and keep your smile healthy!

19 months of braces ⬇️

When this patient first walked in, he had significant crowding and an improper bite, causing discomfort and potential long-term oral health issues. After 19 months of treatment, his smile is beautifully aligned, and we’ve improved his bite, reducing strain on his teeth and gums.

Braces do more than just straighten teeth - they’re a critical step towards better function, less wear, and healthier teeth overall.

No matter your age, it’s never too late to get on the path to a healthier smile.

A narrow palate and crossbite aren’t just cosmetic concerns - they can cause jaw discomfort, speech difficulties, and uneven tooth wear if left untreated.

For this patient, we used braces and tongue tamers over 20 months to gradually expand the palate, align the bite, and create a more balanced, functional smile.

💡 What are tongue tamers?
These are small orthodontic devices placed behind the front teeth to train the tongue to rest and function properly. They help break harmful habits like tongue thrusting, which can interfere with bite correction and tooth alignment.

This lovely patient came to us with a Class I malocclusion, spacing, and an improper overbite - issues that may seem minor, but can lead to gum problems, uneven wear, and chewing difficulties over time.

With 20 months of Invisalign, we gently guided her teeth into alignment, closed the gaps, and created a balanced, natural-looking smile - all with clear, comfortable aligners that fit effortlessly into her routine. ✨

A Class III skeletal and dental malocclusion, often called an “underbite,” can significantly affect facial harmony and function. When diagnosed early in growing children, orthodontic treatment can guide proper jaw development and prevent the need for future surgery.

💡 What We Did:

✅ 30 months of comprehensive orthodontic treatment
✅ Guided jaw growth for a correct bite
✅ Improved both function and aesthetics

The result? A balanced, healthy smile designed to last a lifetime! Early intervention is key - according to the American Association of Orthodontists, children should have their first orthodontic check-up by age 7, even if no issues are noticeable yet. Catching concerns early can make treatment easier and more effective!

Our patient came to us with a Class III malocclusion - commonly known as an underbite. It occurs when the lower jaw extends further than the upper jaw. This can lead to:

❌ Difficulty chewing & speaking
❌ Excessive tooth wear
❌ Facial imbalance

At Forever Smiles, we corrected this case using braces only - without surgery! In just 23 months, the patient achieved a balanced, functional, and beautiful smile.

Early treatment matters! If you suspect an underbite in your child, schedule a consultation to explore non-surgical solutions.

Incredible results of underbite treatment! 🦷💪

An underbite is a dental condition where the lower teeth extend beyond the upper front teeth when the mouth is closed. This misalignment, known as Class III malocclusion, can be caused by genetics, jaw size discrepancies, or habits developed in childhood.

Long ago, it was seen as “”regal”” or “”powerful”” due to the prominent jawline it creates. Today, we know that an underbite can affect chewing, speech, and even facial aesthetics.

The best time to treat an underbite depends on its severity and the cause, but early intervention is ideal—usually between ages 7 and 10 when a child’s jaw is still growing.

Early detection and treatment can help avoid more invasive and complicated procedures later, such as Jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery).
