Your braces require extra care. Food can get trapped between wires and pressed against teeth. Over
time, that can cause stains that won't come off. It also leads to cavities and gum disease.

How to Brushing & Floss...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Brush the front and back of each of your front teeth. Hold the toothbrush at an angle and
use slow, circular motions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Work the brush between the wires and brackets of your braces. Go slowly. Make sure you
cover each part of the appliance. Gently brush the gums too.
|
|
|
Brush the top and sides of each back tooth. Also brush your tongue and the roof of your
mouth. Rinse with water. Then use other rinses or gels as directed.
|
|
|
Put 1-2 feet of floss into a floss threader. Thread the floss between your teeth and the
wires of your braces. Remove the threader.
|
|
|
Wrap the ends of the floss around your fingers. Pull to make a "V" shape. Rub the
floss up to the gums and then down the sides of the teeth. Do this between each tooth.
|
|
|
Brush and clean any Removable Appliances as directed.
