got calcium?

· Getting adequate calcium is a key to keeping your teeth healthy for your whole life.

Find your floss

· Floss at least once a day between teeth, around brackets and at the gumline.

Your among the famous!

· Did you know? Chelsea Clinton, Brett Favre, Venus Williams and Cher wore braces? Cher even wore them as an adult.

Retain your retainer

· Retainers can last a lifetime, if well-cared for – retainers should not be subjected to hot water, hot cars, pockets, a washing machine, napkins, pets, hot drinks or very cold drinks.

Don’t be a couch potato

· You can play sports with braces. We recommend that you wear a mouth guard to help protect your braces and your mouth if you are playing contact sports.

Where did my retainer go?

· Take retainer(s) out when eating. Always store your retainer in its case to prevent it from being thrown out or collecting germs and bacteria.

Retain your smile

· Wear your retainer(s) full-time, until the orthodontist tells you otherwise.

Sure it does!

Loosy Goosey?

· Loose teeth? Don’t worry. When you have braces, your teeth will need to loosen a little in order to get them to move. When they have moved, they will stay fixed in place.

Keep watch

· If your brackets are irritating the insides of your mouth or your tongue, use a little dental wax on your braces to lessen the aggravation.
