Avoid chewy, sticky food- Your brackets can get stuck to caramel, toffee, and gum and will be difficult to clean from your brackets later on, which might cause your brackets to be dislodged from your teeth. This can result in uncomfortable breakages, and can prolong your treatment time.
Cut hard food into bite-size pieces – Avoid biting directly into hard foods like apples, carrots, pizza, and crusty sandwiches. Cut them into small pieces instead and chew with your back teeth.
Break those bad habits – If you’re a nail biter or like to chew on the end of a pencil, these habits can cause your appliance to break. It’s best to break those habits first as soon as possible!
Use fluoride mouthwash – Combining this to the routine teeth brushing will protect your teeth from developing dental caries during treatment period.
Floss at least once a day – It’s especially easy for food to get trapped between your teeth during treatment with braces. Flossing will help prevent tooth decay and gum disease, which can prolong your treatment journey.
Brush gently around your brackets – Be careful not to smack your brackets with your toothbrush handle, as this could damage them. Brush in gentle circular motions around the brackets to clean them from every angle.
