It’s important to take good care of your teeth when you’re wearing braces or a retainer, in
order to avoid problems such as tooth decay or gum disease. Here are some tips for taking
care of your teeth:

• Floss your teeth at least once a day.
• Avoid sugary and acidic foods and drinks, as they can damage your teeth.
• Visit your orthodontist regularly for checkups and cleanings.
