Proper gum care while you have braces ensures better outcomes and prevents complications



Because braces trap food and bacteria, they significantly elevate the likelihood of gum inflammation and decay



With deliberate care and the right tools, your gums can remain resilient even under the stress of braces



Never skip brushing following food consumption



Use a soft bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste



Take your time and brush at a 45 degree angle to reach both the brackets and the gumline



Be thorough: brush the occlusal surfaces and lingual sides just as carefully as the front



Many people find it helpful to use an electric toothbrush because it can remove plaque more effectively with less effort



Flossing remains non-negotiable, despite the added challenge of wires and brackets



Consider using a water flosser as an alternative, or floss picks designed for braces



Move the floss in a C-shape around each tooth, curving gently below the gum to dislodge debris



Flossing targets hidden plaque and debris trapped where brushes simply can’t go



Consider using an interdental brush



Interdental brushes fit snugly between teeth and around orthodontic hardware for deep cleaning



Perfect for clearing out stubborn bits lodged near bands or wires



Complete your hygiene sequence by using interdental brushes after flossing for maximum cleanliness



A therapeutic mouth rinse complements brushing and flossing by targeting lingering microbes



Avoid mouthwashes with harsh alcohol—opt for soothing, hydrating alternatives



Gargle thoroughly for a full half-minute after your final oral hygiene step



What you eat can either protect or harm your gums while wearing braces



Avoid sticky, sugary, or hard foods that can get stuck in your braces or damage the wires



Sugary and sticky items fuel bacterial growth and inflame delicate gum tissue



Hydrate often—water naturally flushes out debris and keeps your mouth clean between brushes



Finally, don’t skip your regular dental checkups



They can detect early signs of gingivitis before it becomes periodontitis



If you notice bleeding, swelling, or 東京 前歯矯正 persistent soreness in your gums, let your orthodontist know right away



Small signs today can save you from major dental complications tomorrow



Your commitment to gum health today paves the way for a beautiful, lasting smile tomorrow
