"Essential oral hygiene advice for keeping teeth white, clean, and healthy while wearing braces or clear aligners."

Brushing with Braces

Brush after every meal using an orthodontic toothbrush at a 45 degree angle around brackets to remove trapped food particles.

Flossing Techniques

Use orthodontic floss threaders or water flosser devices to clean under archwires daily.

Dietary Guidance

Avoid biting directly into hard apples, nuts, or sticky candies to prevent loose brackets and wire damage.
