HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR BRACES — PART 3
Besides brushing, flossing is hard but is mandatory. You can get floss threaders,
but if you can slip the floss under the wire pretty easily that is fine. Just as long as
you can floss between each tooth every day. Also it should be realized that when
under an orthodontists care, the patient should still return to the dentist for routine
cleanings and maintenance.

If you have a retainer, biteplate, or another removable appliance scrub them
with toothpaste to clean them each day. You can use baking soda too, or an
effervescent denture cleaner. With the removable appliances, a common problem
is breakage or loss. Common mistakes are to wrap the appliance or retainer in a
napkin as this 'hides' the appliance so it commonly gets thrown away. Also storing
the appliance in your pocket without placing it in its case can result in the plastic
or acrylic experiencing unnecessary force, and then it can break easily or have
wires distort. This can cause teeth to move. As silly as it may seem, if a pet is in
the house, always keep or temporarily store the appliance out of reach of the pet.
Dogs especially love the scent of their family or food, and can make a snack out of
your appliance.

Misplacing an appliance in its case in a public place such as a school can cause
permanent loss. A simple solution to assist in retum of the appliance is to put your
name and phone number with a permanent marker on the case. Many people
participate in contact sports when retainers, etc. are not worn and with today's
busy schedules, it is sometimes hard to trace where the appliance may have been
lost.
