Making Braces a Breeze: Tips from Super Smiles Orthodontics
At Super Smiles Orthodontics, we understand that adjusting to braces can take some time. That’s why we’ve put together six simple strategies to help you breeze through your orthodontic journey and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.
Here are our top tips, brought to you by Cathy Hernandez DMD:
1. The Super Hero of Toothbrushes
Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is key to speeding up your treatment and keeping your teeth healthy. Invest in a high-quality electric toothbrush to effectively clean around your braces and ensure optimal oral health.
2. Waterpik Flosser
A Waterpik flosser is a fantastic tool for patients with braces, as it can reach those hard-to-access areas and remove stubborn buildup. It’s especially helpful for soothing sensitive gums after braces adjustments.
3. Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
Braces can create tight spaces that are challenging to clean with a regular toothbrush. Incorporate an interproximal brush into your oral care routine to tackle those small spaces and maintain comprehensive cleanliness.
4. Braces On the Go
Maintaining oral hygiene is essential no matter where you are. Create a travel kit with essential items like a travel toothbrush, mirror, floss, and orthodontic wax. This ensures you can care for your braces effectively, even when you’re on the move.
5. Braces Friendly Snacking
Stock up on soft, braces-friendly foods before getting your braces fitted or adjusted. Opt for mashed potatoes, yogurt, soup, smoothies, and steamed veggies to soothe sensitivity and avoid tempting hard or sticky foods that could damage your braces.
6. Protect Your Mouth
If you’re active in sports, protect your braces and soft tissue with a quality mouthguard. This precaution prevents sharp metal edges from causing injury during physical activity.
