ORTHO TIPS
Good oral hygiene is an essential part of orthodontic treatment. We recommend brushing your teeth twice a day especially after a big meal. The use of interdental brushes can also help remove food particles and dental plaque effectively.

Certain foods have the tendency to break or damage your braces.
Please avoid:
-
Hard and sticky foods like apples, nuts, chips, popcorn and gum
-
Biting directly with the front teeth

-
Poking wire
Please apply orthodontic wax and contact the office.
-
Broken bracket
Please contact us to schedule an appointment. In the meantime, if there is discomfort, apply some orthodontic wax.
-
Discomfort Mild discomfort may occur for the first 2-3 days after bonding braces or changing wires. If it persists, please contact the office.
