Braces require special care outside of your normal brushing and flossing routine. You will also need to schedule frequent appointments with your orthodontist in order to make sure your teeth are adjusting properly.
You will also be recommended to avoid certain foods and drinks, which may put your orthodontic appliances at risk for damage. An example is refraining from gum, which is very difficult to clean out and can also damage the wiring and brackets. Your orthodontist will cover this in full detail.
