Why Do We Recommend That Brace Wearers Brush Three Times a Day?

Braces are fantastic for perfecting your smile, but let’s be honest—they’re like magnets for food bits. That’s why brushing three times a day is a non-negotiable.

  • No Plaque Parties: Food and plaque around braces can lead to decay if left unchecked.
  • Avoid the “Square” Look: Skipping regular brushing can cause staining around brackets, leaving permanent marks.
  • Protect Your Gums: Your gums are working overtime—help them stay healthy by brushing often.

Pro tip: Keep a travel toothbrush handy for after meals, and don’t forget to use an interdental brush to get between those tricky spots.
