Care of Braces

Teeth cleaning is very important during orthodontic treatment. Although braces make dental care slightly more challenging, proper hygiene can be easily maintained with regular brushing While brushing, it is necessary to be careful to clean the area between the gums and brackets thoroughly. The ideal brushing time is 3 minutes. After brushing, the areas between the brackets and under the wire should also be cleaned with an interface brush. The most effective method for cleaning the contact surfaces between teeth is using dental floss.
Superfloss, specially designed for orthodontic treatment, has stiff ends that allow it to pass easily between the braces. Interdental brushes should be used in a vertical direction, making sure that the gums are cleaned while doing so.
