Our team at Horsey Orthodontics understands the challenges of keeping up with oralhygiene when wearing braces. But caring for your teeth and gums is still important. Removing food particles and plaque between teeth while wearing braces is much easier if you follow these tips:

Use a floss threader. A floss threader is an inexpensive tool similar to a large, plastic needle that allow you to pull the floss through your teeth above the wire. This allows you to floss between your teeth at the gum line, which is important to maintaining healthy gums. Floss threaders are meant to be disposable, so use a new one each time you floss.

Use waxed floss or dental tape. Waxed floss and dental tape slip between teeth easier than unwaxed floss, making it less likely that you will damage your wires. They also are less likely to shred and leave pieces of floss stuck behind.

Use the right amount of floss. Too much or too little can make flossing more difficult. We recommend using 12-18 inches of floss.

Help younger children with flossing. Flossing successfully, especially with braces, requires manual dexterity. Young children may not be capable of flossing on their own.

Keeping good oral hygiene habits while wearing braces will help ensure that when your braces come off, you will have the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted. Please contact our office if you need additional information or to schedule an appointment.

At Horsey Orthodontics, we use modern technology to perform precise and accurate orthodontic procedures.  We utilize advanced, digital x-rays that use 90% less radiation than traditional x-rays. Digital x-rays help to magnify and enhance your teeth for better diagnosis of orthodontic treatment.

Once the x-ray is taken, an image of your teeth is placed into an imaging program and projected on a screen instantly for us to view. This helps Dr. Horsey get the information he needs to plan the most effective orthodontic treatment.

We are proud to bring this modern technology to you and encourage you to call our office if you have any questions.  We can help you get your oral health back on track!
