Caring for your braces may seem like a daunting task, but with the right routines, it can be a breeze. Your orthodontist will provide you with advice on how to take care of your braces, but here are some general advice to keep in mind.

First and foremost, it is crucial to keep your teeth and gums clean to prevent cavities. However, braces can make it more challenging to clean your teeth properly. To combat this, you can use a fluoride mouthwash to help kill bacteria and plaque. You can also use a proxabrush, a small toothbrush designed specifically for cleaning around orthodontic appliances.


When brushing your teeth, pay extra attention to the areas around the brackets and wires. Use a careful circular motion to clean the brackets and avoid using too much toothpaste. Make sure to brush all surfaces of your teeth, including the tops, sides, and backs.


In addition to brushing, flossing is also very important in removing food particles and plaque that can get stuck between your teeth and under your brackets. You can use interdental floss, or a floss threader to navigate around your brackets. Be careful when flossing to avoid damaging the brackets or wires.


To make flossing easier, you can also consider using a orthodontic floss threader, which can help you reach the areas around your brackets more comfortably.


Another essential aspect of caring for your braces is eating a wholesome diet. Some foods can get stuck in your teeth or damage your brackets, so it's essential to avoid these types of foods. Foods to avoid include:


Stick to a wholesome diet that includes plenty of lean proteins, and healthy carbohydrates. These foods are kind on your teeth and will not cause any damage to your brackets.

In addition to a healthy diet, there are several other habits you can adopt to help care for your braces. Here are a few advice:


  • Don't touching your mouth often, as this can cause stains.
  • Steer clear of tobacco products, as they can lead to oral health issues.
  • Visit your orthodontist frequently to assess your appliance.
  • Use a mouth protector if you participate in activities that involve impact or injury to your face to protect your appliance.
