Orthodontic treatment, such as braces or Invisalign, can be a great way to improve your smile and overall oral health. However, it’s important to remember that good oral hygiene is essential during this time. In fact, maintaining a clean mouth is even more crucial when you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Here are a few tips for keeping your teeth and gums healthy while wearing braces or Invisalign:
-
Brush your teeth thoroughly twice a day: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to remove plaque and food particles from around your braces or aligners. Pay special attention to the areas around your brackets and wires.
-
Floss daily: Flossing is essential for removing food particles from between your teeth and under your gum line. If you’re having trouble flossing with braces, ask your orthodontist for floss threaders or other helpful tools.
-
Rinse with mouthwash: Mouthwash can help kill bacteria and freshen your breath. Look for a mouthwash that contains fluoride to strengthen your 1 teeth.

In addition to these tips, here are some specific things to keep in mind if you’re wearing Invisalign:

Clean your aligners: Remove your aligners and brush them gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste. You can also soak them in a cleaning solution recommended by your orthodontist.

Follow your orthodontist’s instructions: Be sure to follow your orthodontist’s instructions carefully for wearing and caring for your aligners.
