How to Take Care of Your Braces
Here are some ways to take care of your Orthodontics or what we usually call, braces.
Do's
- Always brush and floss after meals. Use only orthodox brush. You may also use interdental brush if floss is not available.
- Be careful when eating hard or sticky food. Cut hard food into tiny pieces before chewing.
- Replace your toothbrush every three months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed.
- Go to all of your orthodontics appointments. If delay any adjustments, your treatment will just take longer.
Don'ts
- Don't forget to use your wax and keep your mouth moist to prevent oral mucosa from being scraped by the brackets or wires.
- Don't use toothpicks to remove food particles stuck in your brackets or in between your teeth.
