Oral Hygiene
You’re investing a lot of time, effort and money into the construction and placement of your orthodontic appliances. Our instructions may seem extreme, but always remember that your treatment may not be as effective and may take longer if you don’t take proper care of your teeth.
We keep emphasizing that orthodontic treatment is about teamwork, and in the case of taking care of your braces and your teeth, you’re the most important team member. You’re the team leader when it comes to keeping your teeth and mouth clean and healthy and ensuring that you’ll get your new healthy smile on schedule.
Our regimen of oral hygiene during your orthodontic treatment includes ...
- Instructions on how to brush, floss and take care of your braces and removable appliances
- Topical Fluoride
- Foods to Avoid
Always keep in mind that cavities, gum disease or damage, such as broken, lost or bent appliances, will require extra care, possible extra appointments to fix and may make your treatment take longer.
