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
