The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) has put out the following suggestions:
- Make sure to brush and floss your teeth on a regular basis, as infrequency can lead to additional trips to your orthodontist or dentist.
- Keep your teeth clean and healthy. This can actually decrease the time that your braces are on. The AAO has found that the cleaner and healthier your teeth, the faster they move.
- Please take caution when playing sports, wearing a mouth guard prevents injury to your mouth and protects your braces.
- Try to avoid foods that tend to be crunchy, sticky or chewy and stay from chewing on easers, writing utensils or fingernails.
