Oral Hygiene
Once you have your orthodontic appliance or braces in place, keeping your teeth, gums and appliance clean is really important.
Braces, wires bands, and retainers can all trap food particles and make it difficult to brush or floss away plaque. Careful brushing and flossing, preferably after every meal and snack, is the best way to prevent plaque build up, tooth decay and gum disease.
