Patients should brush their teeth 2 to 3 times each day: after breakfast, lunch (or as soon as they get home from school) and before going to bed. We will show each patient how to floss their teeth with braces on (a Waterpik may be used if flossing is too difficult). We will also provide a prescription fluoride rinse to help protect the teeth during orthodontic treatment.

Patients should brush their teeth at least four times each day – after each meal and before going to bed. In addition, we recommend that a fluoride rinse be used just before bedtime.
