WHY IS BRACES CARE IMPORTANT?
Proper care for your teeth and braces ensures effective treatment and prevents problems like tooth decay, gum disease, or damage to your braces. Keeping your teeth clean and your braces undamaged helps your orthodontic treatment progress smoothly, giving you the best possible outcome: a stunning, healthy smile that lasts a lifetime.
ORAL HEALTH
Clean your teeth and braces thoroughly after every meal using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Use interdental brushes or floss threaders to clean between braces and wires. Remember to attend dental check-ups with your regular dentist and hygienist. Maintaining this routine helps prevent plaque buildup and keeps your teeth healthy throughout treatment.
NUTRITION
Stick to soft, brace-friendly foods like yoghurt, pasta, and soft fruits. Avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods such as nuts, toffee, and chewing gum, which can damage your braces. Limit sugary snacks and drinks to prevent decay. Choosing the right foods helps protect your braces and ensures uninterrupted progress in your treatment.
