There are still a few steps to keep in mind, in the first few days after getting braces

The teeth will be tender. This is a normal part of getting that perfect smile. The discomfort and sensation are an early indication of tooth movement and correction. A good oral health alone goes a lot toward that pleasant smile to come.

The goal of having braces is to improve the overall health of the mouth and create a beautiful & confident smile, but the lack of these can cause staining, gum issues, and cavities problems and other oral issues.

1. Regular Brushing:

It’s ideal to brush twice a day for two minutes each time, using fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled brush. Remove any rubber bands or other accessories before brushing. Use a gentle circular motion and begin moving the toothbrush across each tooth, and encourage them to make sure to move the brush down below the wires to get everything above and below the braces.

2. Floss and Mouthwash:

The toothbrush alone won’t reach all the crevices and cracks, flossing is a must. Use floss or other flossing aid to do so.

3. Using Water Pik:

Although they don’t replace flossing, oral irrigators such as the water pik can be an excellent add-on to the braces' oral hygiene regime. They are a great tool to help with the removal of stubborn food debris that the toothbrush and floss missed.

4. Smile check:

Stop and check out their smile in the mirror, and look closely to make sure there aren’t any stubborn food particles that got left behind or are overlooked.

Check for any areas where wires maybe sticking out or are out of place. Checking the braces regularly can be helpful because they can quickly identify problems and notify the orthodontist when something isn’t right. If any issue arises, MUSKAAN DENTALS are here to help.
