“Keeping a consistent cleaning routine is an important part of looking after your teeth during orthodontic treatment. The right approach can be different for braces and Invisalign, so patients should follow the care instructions provided for their individual treatment,” said Dr. Khushee Sharma of Oasis Orthodontics.
With fixed braces, brackets and wires can make some parts of the teeth harder to reach. According to Oasis Orthodontics, patients should brush carefully around the brackets and under the wires. The practice also recommends tools such as interdental brushes and flossing aids to help clean areas that a regular toothbrush may not reach easily.
Invisalign involves a different daily routine because the aligners are removable. According to the practice's patient guidance, aligners should be removed for eating, drinking beverages other than water, brushing and flossing. The aligners should also be cleaned regularly and kept in their protective case when they are not being worn.
Regular dental care continues to be important during orthodontic treatment. Patients with questions about cleaning their teeth or caring for their orthodontic appliance can discuss their routine with their dental or orthodontic care provider.
