🦷 Thinking of Getting Braces?
Here’s how they work — and how to care for them!
.
Braces use mild, constant pressure to shift your teeth into their proper positions over time. The exact way this happens depends on the type of braces you choose.

How should I care for my braces?
.
✅ Brush your teeth at least twice daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
✅ Floss between your teeth and around your braces once a day. (Ask your dentist or orthodontist about special floss for braces.)
✅ If you have clear aligners, clean them daily and store them properly when you’re not wearing them.
