Brushing and flossing after meals are essential for healthy teeth and gums with braces. Our team can recommend special toothbrushes, toothpaste, and floss to make cleaning easier.

Certain foods can damage braces or get stuck in brackets, so it’s best to avoid:
Bagels, licorice
Popcorn, chips, ice
Gum, caramel
