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.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and floss threaders to reach around brackets and wires effectively.
Certain foods can damage braces or get stuck in brackets, so it’s best to avoid:
Bagels, licorice
Popcorn, chips, ice
Gum, caramel
