Build a "BRACES SURVIVAL KIT" for School
Pack a small, discrete pouch to keep in your locker or backpack so you can handle any orthodontic emergency during the school day.
-Travel toothbrush and toothpaste: Brush quickly after lunch to avoid trapped food.
-Orthodontic wax: Apply this to brackets or wires that start poking or irritating your cheeks.
-Dental floss or Proxy brush: Use these to safely slide under wires and dislodge stubborn food.
-Lip balm: Keep your lips moisturized, as braces can leave your mouth feeling unusually dry.
KEEP SMILING!!!
