Braces Care Tips From Baltimore Orthodontic Associates
Orthodontic Associates warn braces wearers to buy a quality toothbrush and seek a clinician's guidance. Brush at 45 degrees, cover outer and inner surfaces around brackets, and clean molars and gumline. Use pipe cleaner brushes, floss under wires, choose waxed floss, and consider three brush sessions daily plus a water flosser for easier cleaning. Report concerns to your dentist or orthodontist.
