How to care for
your braces- part 1
More adults and children are getting braces than ever
before. It's important, when you are in the care of an
orthodontist to do what the doctor says, follow his or
her advice and take care of your braces. Be sure to
brush and floss often and don't eat any of the foods
that can break your brackets off Even kids can be
responsible for keeping their braces in good condition Nelson Hersh DDS, MS
and clean.
Liwnwd Specials,
The most important factor in keeping your teeth
and gums healthy during orthodontic treatment is brushing and flossing. The
American Association of Orthodontics recommends that you brush and floss
your teeth after every meal and before you go to bed. It is important to keep
the teeth clean because food can get caught in the braces and cavities will form.
If needed an orthodontist will prescribe a 4% fluoride gel to brush with, to
strengthen teeth even further and help to avoid cavities.
Some children and teenagers do not like to brush their teeth; however, if they do
not brush their teeth it can have disastrous results. Food will get caught in their
braces and their breath will smell awful. Serious decay may occur and possibly
even gum disease. Encourage children with braces to brush often.
Your orthodontist and all the orthodontic technicians will instruct you on how
to clean the braces. Use a regular toothbrush first and brush normally. Some
orthodontists give out special toothbrushes to reach hard to get spots like the
bristle brush that goes under the wire and between brackets to scrub where your
toothbrush won't. Other cleanina tools you might want to get are waterpik,
interdental brushes, electric toothbrushes, rubber tips, floss threaders, just to
name a few.
