Treatment Process

Taking Care of Braces

If you choose to have metal braces, some basic care guidelines will need to be followed to ensure that the treatment is effective and you protect your teeth against decay.

Avoid Certain Foods

You will need to avoid foods that can damage your braces, such as chewy, sticky foods like caramel. You will also need to avoid hard, crunchy food, such as nuts, that could damage the wires.

Brush & Floss Regularly

While proper teeth hygiene is essential, it can be even more crucial when you have metal braces. Debris can easily be caught in the brackets of your braces, leading to tooth staining and tooth decay if not removed. Being adamant about removing debris from all the crevices of your braces will help keep your teeth in good health to maximize your results when the straightening is complete.
