Those researching orthodontics for themselves or their children may feel at a loss for information. They’ve heard it’s expensive, that metal braces are the only solution, and that orthodontics are just for children or teens. They’ve heard that you have to go back to the orthodontist often for regular treatments, that rubber bands pop off, that it’s hard to brush with braces and wonder if it’s all worth it.

Much of this type of information is either not true or only half true. Most people only know about orthodontics from their own experience or listening to others. A lot has changed in the past 20 or 30 years so it’s a good time to do more research for the best options.

Dental trends are popping up on Facebook or TikTok every day, but not all of them are safe for your teeth.

Most of the tricks and hacks proposed on social media for your teeth don’t work. Some are old remedies that have little value today. Some of these trends can cause irreparable damage to your smile—or even make you sick! So before you jump on the latest craze, read this article and see if it’s worth the risk.
