I am new to this website, but i have a quick question.

Has anyone tried Phos-Flur? It's the stuff that protects ur teeth from those white marks. I have had my braces for a year and almost 3 months. I should be getting them off in about 3 months. WHOA! I totally just realized that and now i'm in a good mood.

If anyone has used it... do u know if i would start using it now, would it prevent or treat white marks?

I brush my teeth every day at least 2 times a day and floss at a dentist recommended every other day.

Lately I have been really really worried about having white marks on my teeth from my braces when i get them off.

HELP! does Phos-Flur work?

I think it works even tho I've been using it for as long as I had braces...about two weeks. And so far so good.

I got a sample of it from them in my goody bag, but I bought some before I even got braces. Has your Ortho said anything to you about not brushing well enough?

Sounds like you are pretty consistant with your brushing routine. I think that is key in keeping the white marks away since they come from plaque build-up anyways. I think it's never too late to late to start tho.

The sample I got was Cool Mint. The one I bought was the Gushing Grape. I don't particulary like the way it tastes, but I guess it has to be gross for it to work...LOL

But I would say to give it a go...

Thank You SOO much for your replies.

I have an ortho appointment today.

We are going to ask them if it would even be worth it to use it at this point.

Thank you for all your opinions.
I'll keep you posted.

Well, it looks as tho it will be closer to next summer that i get my braces off. o well. i guess it's not that bad. and they don't hurt much anymore.

i got the phos flur. it tastes kinda gross but that's alright.

uhm so yah. my ortho was only concerned about my brushing for 2 weeks and then he wasn't anymore. well he still wants me 2 brush obviously but u get my point.

byee!
