Oral hygiene is incredibly important for your overall oral health. This is perhaps even more important during orthodontal treatment. When you are wearing braces, food can become trapped between your device and teeth. This can lead to problems if not dealt with correctly. You should perform a great oral hygiene regime at all times when you are wearing an orthodontic device.
You should maintain great oral hygiene at all times to preserve the health of your teeth and gums. Poor oral hygiene can lead to all sorts of issues such as tooth decay, gum disease and even tooth loss. Work on becoming a master of oral hygiene and keep this up when you are receiving orthodontal treatment.
Dr. Kammerman will be more than happy to provide you with all the information you need regarding maintaining great oral health whilst undergoing orthodontal treatment.
It is very important that your standard of oral hygiene does not lapse or suffer during your treatment. Brushing regularly and correctly flossing is extremely important during this period.
It is not uncommon to experience some minor discomfort during the early stages of brace wearing. Is it important that you keep working on your oral hygiene even during his stage. The long-term benefits will far outweigh any short-lived discomfort.
