The struggles of
“BRACE-WEARING CLUB”

Surely, anyone undergoing orthodontic treatment understands the myriad of troubles that wearing braces can bring, don’t they? For the sake of a desired appearance in the future, one must bear those tiny, awkward contraptions on their teeth, inviting smiles that are more of sympathy than joy. Not only that, braces also tend to trap food easily, discolor, and cause gum swelling, further diminishing the aesthetic appeal of one’s smile.

SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE CARE FOR BRACES

TOOTHBRUSING:

Poor braces hygiene often stems from irregular, insufficient, or improper brushing techniques. Therefore, simply adapting to small changes can significantly enhance oral health:

Brushing twice a day is obviously not enough; unwilling members of the “brace-wearing club” should brush before bedtime and after every meal (even snack time).

Each brushing session should last at least 2 minutes. Be gentle yet thorough when brushing your braces, folks.

Remember to meticulously brush in crucial areas such as along the gumline, behind the archwire, and around the brackets to remove food particles and plaque buildup.

Gently pressing the bristles against the gums will provide a soothing massage and maintain their health.

Brushing in circular motions on all tooth surfaces and brushing vertically from the gum towards the tooth is crucial. Horizontal brushing can lead to enamel erosion.

Opt for a toothbrush with soft bristles and a small head. Even if you use an electric toothbrush, adhere to these rules for truly clean teeth.

USE OF DENTAL FLOSS:

In addition to braces brushing, incorporating dental floss into your oral hygiene routine can greatly benefit you.
Of course, using dental floss is typically challenging for the “brace-wearing club.” However, this is something dentists will understand and empathize with, as utilizing dental floss with braces requires skilled technique and extensive practice to become accustomed to.

INTERDENTAL BRUSHES:

For those still struggling with dental floss, interdental brushes are a highly effective alternative tool.
Available in various sizes and with soft bristles, you can easily clean between teeth and reach many other small corners. Say goodbye to the hassle of dental floss!
And remember, toothbrushes and interdental brushes are an indispensable duo for the “brace-wearing club.”

WATER FLOSSER:

The water flosser is a modern and convenient tool for oral hygiene. High-pressure water jets will sweep away food debris while simultaneously massaging the gums.
To add the cherry on top, water flossers also come in cordless form, so now you don’t have to miss “her” every time you travel or go on business trips.

MOUTHWASH:

An indispensable companion for anyone undergoing orthodontic treatment is specialized mouthwash. With the aid of effective antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients, your oral health will improve a great deal. Tooth decay and gum inflammation will decrease, and bad breath will disappear.

Remember to use mouthwash regularly as instructed by your dentist throughout the treatment period. And keep in mind that mouthwash cannot replace the necessity of brushing your teeth.

REGULAR ORAL HYGIENE AT WORLDWIDE:

However, you may not always have the time to devote to thorough dental care, right? Especially for kids who may not yet know how to properly care for their braces or for working adults overwhelmed with various tasks, such activities can seem almost impossible.

But fret not, there comes another solution: regular dental scaling. It only takes about 15 minutes in the dentist’s chair, and you can have a bright, plaque-free smile.
