During braces treatment, clean your teeth by brushing around the brackets and gum line, cleaning between the teeth with an interdental brush or flossing aid, and rinsing after meals. 🦷🪥
Brackets and wires create extra spaces where food and plaque can collect, so your usual brushing routine may need some adjustment.
A Simple Cleaning Routine
🪥 Brush around the brackets: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and gently clean above, below, and around each bracket. Pay particular attention to the gum line.
🧵 Clean between your teeth: An interdental brush or floss threader can help reach areas that a regular toothbrush cannot.
💧 Rinse after eating: If you cannot brush immediately after a meal, rinse thoroughly with water to remove loose food particles.
🔍 Check your teeth: Look closely around the brackets and along the gums to make sure food and plaque have not been left behind.
A Few Things To Remember 🍎
Limit very hard, sticky, or chewy foods because they can damage brackets or wires. Cutting harder foods into smaller pieces can make eating easier during braces treatment.
Regular dental and orthodontic visits are also important. Your dental team can check your oral hygiene and point out areas that may need more attention.
At Dazzling Dents Dental Clinic, Dr. Pankaj Desale can provide guidance on maintaining oral hygiene while undergoing orthodontic treatment.
If you are unsure whether you are cleaning your braces properly, consult your dentist or orthodontist for guidance. ✨
