Getting braces<\/a> is an exciting step toward your dream smile! Once the metal brackets and wires are adhered to your teeth, it\u2019s only a matter of time until they are in their perfectly aligned positions. To ensure your treatment goes smoothly, keeping your teeth and braces clean is paramount, but it can be tricky! Keep reading to learn six must-have products for braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1. A Water Flosser<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the day, food particles and other debris can get trapped in your braces. That\u2019s why it\u2019s a good idea to rinse with some clean water before brushing your teeth. Even better, you can use a water flosser! This unique tool uses pressurized water to remove plaque, bacteria, and food particles from your braces, teeth, and gumline in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. Dental Wax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As your mouth becomes accustomed to the presence of your braces, you may experience some irritation to your gums and the inside of your cheeks. Fortunately, there is a remedy: dental wax. By placing a small portion over any sharp edges of your brackets or wires, you can protect the soft tissue in your mouth from irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. A Soft-Bristled Toothbrush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In short, not all toothbrushes are equal. Ones with hard bristles not only can damage your enamel, but they can also irritate your gums. To effectively clean your teeth without harming them, stick to a soft-bristled one. It can be manual or electric \u2013 what matters is that you are using it after each meal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. A Mini Dental Kit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since brushing your teeth after each meal is important, it\u2019s a good idea to keep a dental to-go kit on-hand. That way, whether you\u2019re out running errands or working in the office, you can quickly clean your teeth. A few essentials are a travel-sized toothbrush, a small tube of toothpaste, and pre-threaded floss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5. A Sturdy Bottle of Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Staying hydrated is crucial, especially when you have braces. After all, dry mouth is a huge contributor to mouth sores, which can be less than pleasant during your orthodontic treatment. Instead of opting for plastic water bottles, buy a reusable half-gallon one (this will make it easy to track your intake throughout the day).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6. A Braces-Friendly Cookbook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you first get braces, it\u2019s natural to focus on all the things you can\u2019t<\/em> eat, like corn on the cob, caramel apples, and popcorn. With a braces-friendly cookbook in your kitchen, you\u2019ll see all the delicious and nutrient-dense meals you can<\/em>! Who knows, you may even end up finding some staples to keep on rotation even after you get your braces off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orthodontic treatment brings changes to both your oral hygiene routine and your diet. Luckily, the above products can make that adjustment much more seamless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
