Here are a few tips for caring for your teeth in between now and your next visit:
- Clean your teeth multiple times a day. If you're sporting an orthodontic appliance, either braces or aligners, keeping your teeth clean is important no matter the situation.
- Use what you have at home. A little water, your toothbrush, some floss and toothpaste go a long way.
- Wear your elastics or retainers as prescribed. Keep your orthodontic treatment on track by following recommendations. Running low on rubber bands? Call us!
- Avoid problematic foods and drinks. Avoid hard, sticky foods that could potentially break brackets. Skip or limit sugary beverages.
- Call us if you have questions. We are still here for you, even if we aren't in the office.
