This is one of the most important conversations we have with our patients.
Flossing with braces isn't optional. It's essential for protecting your smile while you're building it.
Brushing cleans the surfaces, but flossing is what reaches the spaces your toothbrush can't. And those spaces? They're where plaque loves to hide around brackets and wires.
Daily flossing helps:
• Keep gums healthy and prevent inflammation
• Remove plaque buildup between teeth and around brackets
• Protect your teeth from decay during treatment
• Set you up for the best possible results
You're investing time and energy into this treatment. We want to make sure your gums and teeth stay healthy every step of the way.
