Braces are proof that your smile means a lot to you.

Here are some advice on how to keep up your braces for the length of your treatment.

While wearing braces, its extra important to take care of your teeth and gums. Lack of cleanliness can promote bacterial growth and the spread of germs in your mouth.

If you do not take care of your teeth, they can weaken and discolor, causing greater problems down the line.

It’s important that you keep your mouth, teeth and braces clean at all times!

So, what is a braces patient to do?

There are many options for cleaning in between your brackets.
