Keep these attention in the diet

If you are wearing or applied, take special care of oral hygiene, brush and floss regularly daily, do tongue cleaning. Use mouth cleaner etc. in the daily routine. This will not cause bacteria to flourish and the fear of cavity will be less, because there are many problems if there are braces and if there is cavity.
Take care of cleaning of braces
If you wear transparent braces, then clean it daily. Use the product that the doctor has told for cleaning. If there are metal braces, then use interdental toothbrush so that the food particles are stuck between the wire.
Take care while doing activity
A lot of care is also required during physical activity. If you are doing workouts or if you are doing any outdoor game activity etc. then take more care. A slight rubbing or collision can not only cause damage to the braces, but you can get hurt in lips and gums.
