TAKING CARE OF YOUR ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCE

The adhesive used for brackets is very strong, but certain foods or bad habits can cause them to come loose. Wearing braces doesn’t stop you from eating your favorite foods, but it does mean you need to follow a few rules to avoid loosening the brackets, bending or breaking the wire. From foods to eat with caution to foods to avoid completely, make it a habit. The success of your orthodontic treatment depends on our combined efforts: patient, practitioner, and parents. Follow our recommendations and success is guaranteed!
