Oral Hygiene & Braces

• Flossing
  Floss at least once a day. You will receive detailed instructions on how to floss with braces.
• Rinsing
  An antiseptic dental rinse can aid in soothing and healing irritations and inflammations caused by orthodontic appliances. A mouth rinse can also remove food debris between teeth and braces.
• Interdental
  An interdental toothbrush can be used to clean areas under wires and between braces that a regular toothbrush may miss.
• Retainer
  It is best to brush your retainer as often as you brush your teeth as plaque and food particles can build up on your retainer over time. We recommend you soak your retainer in denture cleaning solution that is safe for orthodontic appliances once a day.
