Braces are doing the work to straighten your smile, but keeping them clean is just as important!
Food and plaque can easily accumulate around brackets and wires, so your oral hygiene routine needs a little extra attention during treatment. Brushing after meals, flossing daily, and using tools like interdental brushes or water flossers can help keep your teeth and gums healthy throughout your orthodontic journey.
A healthy smile now means an even more beautiful smile when the braces come off!
