Hygiene and Care

The PacificWest team will take care of moving your teeth, but we need you to keep your teeth healthy! From maintaining proper dental hygiene to being aware of the foods you eat, getting your teeth straight is a team effort. 

How to take care of your teeth 

Flossing is just as important as brushing, especially when you have braces. Food can easily get stuck in your teeth and braces, so diligence is key. 

What not to eat 

There are many things you can still eat with braces, so we will focus on what you cannot eat. We want you to avoid foods that may loosen or get stuck in the braces, which are typically hard, sticky, and chewy foods. Also avoid biting into whole foods like apples and carrots; instead, cut them up into bite-sized pieces. 

Quick fixes to minor pain 

It does not happen often, but sometimes you may experience slight discomfort with your braces. For example, a wire might be poking your cheek or the bracket may be loose. We recommend you calling our office so we can set you up with an appointment to get the issue fixed. For immediate relief, place some wax on top of the wire or bracket. General soreness caused by the braces can be mitigated by taking Tylenol or Advil 

Although our Orthodontists are fully trained as dentists, we specialize only in the treatment of Orthodontic issues. We strongly recommend that you continue a regular schedule of check-ups and cleanings with your family dentist for the maintenance of your dental health.

Born and raised in Taiwan, Dr. Kevin Lee moved to Richmond, BC with my family in 1999 when he was 15 years old. Dr. Lee received his Bachelor of Science (Biochemistry) Degree and Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of British Columbia in 2011. After spending a year working as a full-time hospital dental resident at the Montefiore Medical Center in the exciting city of Bronx, New York (Yankees!), Dr. Lee came home to British Columbia, where he spent three years at UBC to complete graduate training in orthodontics.

“The unique combination of art, mechanics, and science required to treat every patient is what made orthodontics fascinating to me. Because every smile and patient is unique and different, a customized treatment plan is formed for each person to provide a balance between function, aesthetic, and health. As a board-certified orthodontist, I am passionate in updating myself with the most advanced knowledge and skill to provide quicker, easier, and most predictable treatment options for my patients. I am excited for the opportunities to meet with every one of my patients to share my knowledge, skill, and passion in orthodontics, and to form a long lasting partnership with them.”
