Braces are a big step forward toward a straight, healthier smile, but dental hygiene during treatment is just as critical to your oral health. One of the most critical behaviours to cultivate while in braces was flossing. While it might take a little extra effort and a little more time, flossing with braces is key to preventing cavities, gum disease, and plaque buildup around the brackets and wires.
At Dr. Jen Orthodontics, we know that flossing with braces can be a little challenging when you first get them. That’s why we go out of our way to ensure that all of our patients know the best tools and techniques to help make flossing much easier and more effective. Whether you are using regular floss and a floss threaded, orthodontic flosses, or a water flosser, the most important thing is to do it diligently. Flossing daily gets rid of food particles and bacteria your toothbrush might miss, particularly in those difficult-to-reach places around your braces.
We’re pleased to help members achieve a healthier smile with tailored care and valuable resources at each stage. Our staff at Dr. Jen Orthodontics is dedicated to ensuring your experience with braces in Flossy will be as comfortable, effective, and positive as possible, which is why maintaining a healthy standard of hygiene is essential.
Flossing probably feels like a small part of your routine, but in terms of your orthodontic treatment, it is HUGE! Rely on our professionals to ensure your smile stays fresh and confident, from your initial consultation to your final results.
