Hello.
I have braces and I am 15 years old. I have had the braces for two and a half years.
I have started noticing white spots above the brackets and yellowish-brown spots around the brackets.
What does this mean, and can I fix or improve it so that it is less visible?
Regards, Mark
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
The spots are simply the result of various deposits accumulating on the enamel surface, particularly at the border between the adhesive and the tooth surface. We usually remove this type of discoloration by air polishing.
Have a nice day!
