Easy Tips for Braces Maintenance
When we think about how to help our patients succeed with their braces treatment, we know that taking care of their braces and keeping them clean is just as important as the orthodontic modifications we make during office visits. At Level Orthodontics, we are dedicated to giving our patients complete instructions on how to care for their braces so they can get the best results in the least amount of time. We know that getting used to living with braces can be hard at first, but after you learn the correct things and get used to them, taking care of your braces will be easy.
We have helped many patients successfully get through their braces adventure by giving them precise care instructions and support during their treatment. We recognize that every patient has a different experience with braces, therefore we make sure to give them advice that fits their needs and way of life. We want our patients to feel safe and ready to take care of their braces while still being able to enjoy their daily lives with as little trouble as possible. Learn How To Care For Your Braces with easy daily routines that help maintain oral hygiene, protect your brackets, and ensure successful treatment results.
Comprehensive Braces Care & Support
At Level Orthodontics, we take the time to go over how to care for your braces and answer any questions you have during each visit. We think that constant learning and practice are important for long-term success. We also give our patients written instructions and care kits that include the necessary equipment they need to keep their braces in good shape. This makes sure that they have everything they need to take care of their braces at home.
To take appropriate care of your braces, you need to start with a good daily oral hygiene regimen that gets rid of food particles and plaque surrounding the brackets and wires. We suggest brushing your teeth after every meal and snack with a toothbrush with soft bristles and fluoride toothpaste. We show patients how to brush at a 45-degree angle and spend more time cleaning around each bracket and along the gum line, where plaque tends to build up.
Even though it takes more time and effort with braces, we stress the significance of flossing every day during treatment. We sell special orthodontic floss threaders and suggest using interdental brushes to make it easier to clean between teeth and under wires. We also talk about the benefits of water flossers, which can be quite useful for people who have trouble with regular flossing.
