Keeping Your Mouth Clean
You know that this is important anyway, so that your teeth and your whole mouth stay healthy. But it’s even more important when you have braces.

It’s a bit more tricky to keep your mouth clean with braces. Here’s what you should do:

  • brush your teeth, your gums and your braces after every meal! Start by brushing your teeth. Brush around your braces last, first from the top and then from the bottom. Have a look in the mirror to make sure that you have got rid of any little bits of food in the braces.
  • don't forget to use your "christmas tree" brush for cleaning under the wire twice a day.
  • regularly check your brushing with the disclosing tablets provided.
