"A check-up by your family dentist and cleaning by your
hygienist is recommended every 6 months,
especially during orthodontic treatment."

Remember to brush after every meal and before going to bed at night.
- Use back and forth motions along the gum lines.
- Take your time and brush every surface of each tooth.
- Be sure to angle the toothbrush to get above the upper brackets and below the lower brackets.

Flossing
Flossing is the only way to clean between your teeth.
- Use a floss threader if needed.
- Remember to go between the gums after going between the teeth.
- Do not miss behind the back molars.

Fluoride Rinsing
A fluoridated rinse helps to prevent white spot decalcification and decay.
- Vigorously swish a lid full in your mouth for about one minute.
