ORAL HYGIENE

Gum Disease, tooth decay and permanent markings (decalcification) of the teeth can occur if patients eat excessively sugary foods or do not brush their teeth properly. These same problems can occur without Orthodontic treatment but the risk is greater when wearing braces. Inflammation of the gums and loss of supporting bone can occur if bacterial plaque is not removed regularly with good oral hygiene.

It is therefore necessary to brush at least three times a day – immediately after each meal and including lunch. It is also highly recommended that you see your own Dentist every 6 months for a check-up and fluoride application during Orthodontic treatment.

BRUSHING

You will notice that it is much harder to keep your teeth clean with braces. Food gets caught between the braces, the wires and your teeth, and can only be removed by careful brushing and flossing. Failure to keep your teeth clean can result in permanent white or brown stains on the surface of your teeth.

As stated above, we recommend that you brush three times a day (after breakfast, lunch and dinner). Using a soft toothbrush with a small head is best for cleaning in and around your braces. When brushing, move the toothbrush backwards and forwards in small motions above and below the braces; aiming the toothbrush towards the wires and towards the gums. Flossing is also important and should be done daily. We recommend the use of re-usable floss threaders to make flossing easier.
