Talking retainers with Studebaker Orthodontics

November 19th, 2010


Have you recently completed your orthodontic treatment with Dr. Robert Studebaker? If so, we’d like to congratulate you again! Now that your braces have been removed, Dr. Studebaker will provide—or has provided you—with retainers. After braces are removed, Dr. Studebaker will tell you that teeth may shift out of position if they are not stabilized. Retainers, however, provide that stabilization, and are designed to hold teeth in their corrected, ideal positions until the bones and gums adapt to the treatment changes. Wearing retainers exactly as instructed by Dr. Studebaker and our staff is the best way to make sure that the treatment improvements at Studebaker Orthodontics last for a lifetime.

To learn more about the advantages of wearing retainers after your orthodontic treatment, please visit our website for retainer instructions and check out this helpful article about retainers from KidsHealth or give us a call at 281-251-9229!

Have a GREAT weekend!

Ask Dr. Studebaker: Do cold germs live on toothbrushes?

November 10th, 2010

Fall is here, and so is the dreaded cold and flu season. After recovering from your cold, our staff at Studebaker Orthodontics will tell you one of the most important steps you can take to avoid becoming reinfected is replacing your toothbrush!

Germs can linger on the bristles, and you risk prolonging your sickness by continuing to use the same toothbrush. Be smart - keep a spare, just in case! To protect your toothbrush from bacteria all year long, consider the following tips:

• Wash your hands before and after brushing
• Allow the brush to air dry after each use, harmful bacteria dies after being exposed to oxygen
• Store the toothbrush in an upright position to allow water to drain and dry faster
• Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months. Worn bristles are less effective in properly cleaning your teeth, and can actually be damaging to teeth if used too long!

Hope this tip helps! Feel free to give us a call or ask us on Facebook if you have any questions!
