Why is Opal Seal right for me ?
Why Opal Seal ?

​People with braces have more bacteria on their teeth than people without braces. Even with regular brushing and flossing, braces make it difficult to keep your teeth clean.

​That's where Opal Seal comes in.

​A revolutionary new orthodontic primer, it does the double duty of keeping your brackets securely in place and improving your enamel health.

How does it work?

​​Before putting a bracket on, your orthodontist will apply a thin layer of Opal Seal to the entire surface of your tooth. It will keep the bracket in place and contribute to your enamel health in two important ways . . .  
  • Just as its name implies, Opal Seal acts as a "seal," or barrier between your enamel and plaque by completely covering the tooth surface.         
  • Opal Seal provides fluoride to your teeth. Fluoride is an essential mineral for preserving healthy enamel, which is why it's in many water sources and almost all toothpastes.

FAQs

  • Does Opal Seal hurt?

    No, Opal Seal does not hurt. You might be able to feel it with your tongue, but most likely you won't even notice it's there.

  • Can you see Opal Seal?

    Opal Seal is virtually invisible. Neither you nor anyone else will likely be able to see it with the naked eye. In fact, your orthodontist will use a special UV black light to detect it on your teeth.

  • How long does Opal Seal last?

    Opal Seal generally lasts several months. Your orthodontist may reapply it throughout treatment if necessary.

  • Do I still have to brush and floss with Opal Seal?

    Of course! Opal Seal alone cannot protect your teeth. But when combined with proper oral hygiene, it can help your smile stay bright and healthy.

  • Does Opal Seal contain BPA?

    BPA, or Bisphenol-A, is a potentially harmful chemical used in some plastic bottles, cans, home electronics, and even dental products. However, Opal Seal never has and never will contain BPA.

  • Is Opal Seal just for kids?

    No, Opal Seal is not just for kids. It can benefit anyone with braces—from pre-teens to adults.

Important information for
​your dentist

Because Opal Seal is relatively new, some dentists and hygienists are not yet aware of it. If you go in for a dental cleaning, they may not know what it is and try to scrape it off.

You can help us—and your smile—by telling them it's Opal Seal. Let them know why it's there and that it should not be removed. If they ask, tell them they can simply clean and floss around it.
