Braces make your teeth look better… are you helping them stay that way?

Why braces require extra care

Plaque and food debris can easily collect around brackets, wires and other parts of your braces.

That increases the risk of:

• cavities
• inflamed gums
• permanent white marks
• build-up around the brackets

And that would be a real shame.

You wear braces for months — sometimes even years — to achieve a beautiful smile.

When the brackets come off, you want to be able to enjoy the result.

Good brushing is not an afterthought

Careful cleaning is even more important when you wear braces.

Brush thoroughly around every bracket and clean between your teeth every day as well.

That not only keeps your teeth healthy, but also prevents unpleasant surprises when your braces are removed.
