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.
