Taking Care of Your Teeth with Braces

What you'll need
Keeping my teeth clean is a challenge with braces. Food chunks love to hide in between the wire and brackets and then, before I know it, they've invited their friends the bacteria brothers over for a party. This can be really hard on the enamel of the teeth and it makes my mouth feel nasty; as if I haven't brushed in months.

I try to brush as soon after eating as possible. Even if I'm in a restaurant, someone's house or at the beach. I put together an essentials kit for home and a travel kit for when I'm on the go.

Home Kit:
  • High Powered Mirror
  • Tooth paste
  • Tooth Brush
  • Scaler
  • Floss
  • Flouride Rinse

Travel Kit:
  • Toothpaste
  • Toothbrush
  • Cosmetic mirror
  • Floss
