Hygiene
Whether you wear braces or not, good oral hygiene is necessary to keep your smile healthy and looking great. Braces have areas that hide food and plaque, which can lead to decalcification stains, cavities, and gum disease. Daily brushing and flossing will be a must. Our office will supply you with all the "tools" you need to keep your mouth healthy. Our on-staff hygienist and certified orthodontic assistants will instruct you on proper brushing and flossing techniques with braces.
We recommend fluoridated toothpaste and a fluoride rinse while you are wearing braces.
