Did you get braces or Invisalign this summer? Having the essentials to keep your mouth healthy and wire poking-free during the school year is so important. Here is a list of items to include in a Braces Care Kit and keep in your locker or backpack at school. We are here to make your going back to school with braces a breeze:
1. Toothbrush and Toothpaste
2. Superfloss Floss
3. Easy Glide Floss
4. Orthodontic Wax
5. EZ-Thru
Tips:
1. Flavored Toothpaste.
Get a cool flavor that you like to make Going Back To School a little bit more enjoyable.
2. Brushing!
If you take a few minutes after lunch to brush your teeth, it will keep your smile and your breath healthy and fresh!
3. Eat Smart!
Avoid hard, crunchy and sticky foods that can damage or break your braces. Instead opt for snacks and lunches that include softer foods that you can enjoy in bite sizes! You don’t want a pokey wire, or worse, to spend more afternoons so many afternoons in our office.
4. H2O!
Drinking water throughout the day will help keep your mouth clean by rinsing away food particles that might get stuck in your braces after eating.
5. Protection!
If you are playing sports, it’s important to wear a mouth guard. It won’t just protect your braces, but will also prevent injuries to your mouth and jaw. Stop by our office and we’ll give you one in any color you want.
