Tips & Advice: ORTHODONTIC CARE
ORTHODONTIC CARE – BRUSHING WITH BRACES
With braces, good oral hygiene is even more important. Plaque quickly builds up around brackets, bands and wires.
BASIC HOME CARE
To prevent gum disease and cavities, you need to clean both your teeth and braces properly. Cleaning with a regular toothbrush is not enough – you often need an extra cleaning device. Your dentist/orthodontic assistant can guide you to suitable products for orthodontic care and show you how to use them. If you have removable braces, make sure to brush them too, using a toothbrush and water.
