Oral Hygiene

With braces, it’s crucial to brush and floss after every meal for healthy teeth and gums during treatment. Ask us for guidance on toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss selection.

Brushing with Braces

Brush for two minutes after meals with a small, soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. A powered toothbrush can also work well. Use gentle, circular motions at a 45-degree angle to your gum line, covering all tooth surfaces, including brackets.

Flossing with Braces

Floss after meals to keep teeth and braces clean and treatment on track. Use a floss threader or special orthodontic floss to navigate behind wires. Slide gently between teeth and below the gum line. Consider a water flosser if needed.
