When wearing metal brackets with wires to correct your or your child’s smile, maintaining proper dental hygiene can be tricky. To help you stay on the right track, here are a few tips to keep your smile beaming.
Rinse your mouth regularly after eating as wires and brackets tend to trap food particles that wouldn’t normally stick around.
Be sure to make an ‘interdental’ brush a part of your daily oral health care. An interdental brush is a small brush that is used to clean around and between metal brackets a well as underneath them. This helps to remove unwanted debris that a normal toothbrush may have missed.
Lastly, stay up to date with regular checkups and appointments to ensure the best outcome for your or your child’s smile.
