Protecting Your Teeth During Orthodontic Treatment

Heninger Dental: Dr Cam Heninger in Orem Opal Seal

Why Do You Need to Protect Your Teeth During Orthodontics?

Have you ever seen someone with a straight, post-braces smile who also has distracting white spots that mar the beautiful result? It’s called decalcification, and it can result from acids and plaque sitting on teeth too long during orthodontic treatment. Here at Heninger Dental, we know how important your smile is, so we have something that helps with decalcification.

How Heninger Dental Helps: Opal Seal Protects Teeth from Decalcification

Opal Seal is a sealant and primer in one. It helps us prime your teeth for brackets to keep them firmly in place. At the same time, it acts as a seal to protect your teeth from decalcification and decay. Opal Seal also reinforces your enamel by releasing fluoride. It lasts several months and can be reapplied when necessary.

Here are some of the other reasons why we use Opal Seal:

  • The application is painless and non-invasive.
  • Completely discreet protection and invisible to the naked eye.
  • Non-yellowing and stain-resistant.
  • The drying agent seeks out moisture and draws resin in, ensuring superior bonding and fluoride uptake.
  • Fluorescent properties make reapplication and removal easy and convenient.
  • When combined with proper oral hygiene, Opal Seal helps you keep a bright and healthy smile.
