Anyone got any advice to looking after braces?

I'm having braces next week and I'm not really looking forward to having them. Got some advice for me?!Anyone got any advice to looking after braces?
Ah don't worry! You'll be fine. I have braces and they're really Ok.


Make sure you get some braces wax. Braces do tend to rub and wax helps protect your gums. I had it given to me by my dentist but you may need to buy some.


Also, when you have your braces tightende, alot of people tell you to put ice on them to stop the pain. Seriously, don't listen to them, the cold makes the metal contract and hurts more.


If your braces happen to break (this happens to most people), go straight to your dentist.


Another thing, I find it helps to carry lip balm as my lips seem to get dry really easily now I have braces.


As far as food is concerned, apples usually break my braces and chickn and bread are the worst for getting stck in them, so avoid these on dates :P


Hope I helped :)Anyone got any advice to looking after braces?
Eat ice-cream and drink milkshake. Don't eat to many sweets or fizzy pop (you can have some). Brush your teeth and use mouthwash everyday.


If you want a kit to help look after your braces ask your othodontist.


It will all be worth it in the end :)
Clean your teeth 2 times per day. (3 times if need be)


Do NOT drink fizzy pop (coke, fanta, pepsi....)


Clean in between the wires too.
about it you can find information from the following website
