Brushing & Flossing

Easy habits to keep your smile healthy and bright throughout treatment.

  • Brush after every meal and before bed; food slips easily under wires and around brackets.
  • Angle the brush to clean above and below each bracket, and take your time. Aim for two full minutes.
  • Floss once a day with a floss threader or orthodontic flosser to reach beneath the wire.
  • Great habits now mean a bright, stain-free smile the day your braces come off.
