Repeated Tartar formation
Hi,
I had used braces 5years back and was fine until 2 years back. Now I'm getting my teeth cleaned every 6 months because of tartar formation.
Doctor said it's because of bacteria and said no permanent cure for this except repeated cleaning.
I want to know if there is a permanent solution to stop this repeated tartar formation. It annoys to get teeth cleaned even after brushing teeth properly.
Attached a photo for reference.

Hi I am an Orthodontist. By looking at the picture I can tell that your braces treatment was not done properly and your teeth are not aligned because of which there is excessive plaque and calculus accumulation. Kindly get your braces treatment done properly. You can visit my clinic for the treatment. I will do teeth cleaning before starting the braces treatment
