    Default question about decalcification and possible treatments

    I have two decalcification marks after wearing braces for three years. My dentist said that the only thing that could be done is to drill them out which he refuses to do. However, I've looked online and discovered other options such as microabrasion, MI paste and a new treatment called ICON resin infiltration. Does anyone have any experience with these treatments? I'm really upset about this because I don't like the way they look and I'm worried that they will decay. I've heard this is a common problem but I don't know anyone else who has them.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    There are a number of things which can help, microabrasion and MI paste have been designed to specifically help with these types of problems. You need to find a dentist who is comfortable using these techniques
