Patients under orthodontic treatment face difficulty in cleaning their teeth. Negligence leads to plaque formation, which is the cause of Gum disease, white spot lesions, and cavities. Twice a day brushing is not enough for braces wearers. Your dentist may suggest a soft electric toothbrush sometimes. Care should be taken white taking foods. Hard and sticky foods are avoidable. Say no to nuts till the end of the treatment. Follow your dentist’s instructions carefully for the desired success of your treatment.
