Master Your Cleaning

Become a Master of Cleaning!

Keeping your teeth and orthodontic appliances clean is an important part of your orthodontic journey! Braces, wires, brackets, and aligners can create extra places for food and plaque to hide, making a good cleaning routine more important than ever.

Your Master of Cleaning checklist:
✨ Brush thoroughly at least twice a day using fluoride toothpaste.
🦷 Clean around each bracket and along the gumline to remove plaque and food buildup.
💧 Floss daily using floss threaders, orthodontic flossers, or another method recommended by your orthodontic team.
🪥 Consider an interdental brush to clean those hard-to-reach areas around brackets and wires.
🥤 If you wear aligners, remove them before eating and clean them regularly according to your orthodontist’s instructions.
💦 Rinse your mouth with water after meals when you can’t brush right away.

A clean smile isn’t just about looking good, it helps keep your teeth and gums healthy throughout treatment and makes your smile reveal even more rewarding! Keep up the great work and earn your title as the Master of Cleaning! 🏆😁
