Caring for your teeth with braces

Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the most critical aspects that determines the overall prognosis of orthodontic treatment. Food particles trapped in braces or braces can cause plaque buildup and accelerate the attack of oral microorganisms on the teeth, leading to dental complications such as cavities. Proper oral hygiene includes professional dental instruction, use of the correct tools, and patient motivation. The first step an orthodontist takes is to educate the patient on the need for oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment. The main goal is to achieve changes in patient behavior. One study suggests this process should include ongoing proactive reminders via phone calls from dentists. This can lead to positive behavioral changes while increasing awareness of disease prevention.
