Ask the Orthodontist
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 bed. It is important to keep the
teeth clean because plaque and food can get caught in the braces
and cavities will form. To strengthen teeth even further and help avoid
cavities, a fluoride rinse is also recommended nightly before bed.

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 mini brush that goes under the wire and
between brackets. Other cleaning tools you might want to try are:
waterpik, interdental brushes, electronic toothbrush, rubber tips, and
floss threaders, just to name a few.
Drs. Hersh and Beattie invite you to join our patient family. Our offices are
