Oral Hygiene
It is important for you to keep your teeth, gums and appliances very clean. Brushing and flossing are equally important throughout your treatment time. Food particles left in your appliances or between your teeth, are likely to produce odors and damage your teeth and gums while you are having orthodontic treatment. Poor brushing may result in permanent stains on your teeth. Brush your teeth at least three (3) minutes with a soft bristle toothbrush and remember to brush your teeth each time after eating (including snacks).
