braces Southington provides, but you will also have a healthier smile. Properly aligned teeth are easier to keep clean, ensuring your teeth will last into your golden years. In addition, you are less likely to have problems such as TMJ disorders or sleep apnea when your teeth and bite align properly. As you prepare for your journey with braces, you are sure to have many questions. Your orthodontist is your best source of information and will be your guide every step of the way. One of the greatest concerns you are likely to have is caring for your teeth while you have braces affixed to your teeth.

What About Brushing My Teeth?

If you are going to opt for traditional braces, you will have metal brackets that are actually bonded to the surface of your teeth with metal wires running through them to apply the proper amount of tension. It is this constant tension on your teeth that will gradually shift them into the desired position. When you have brackets on your teeth, brushing can be a challenge. As a general rule of thumb, you are advised to brush your teeth twice a day. This same guideline can be applied to braces. Plan on brushing in the morning and at night. You are likely to find that this isn’t enough when wearing braces because food tends to get trapped between the brackets and wires. To keep your teeth healthy and free from debris, you can plan on brushing after meals as well.
