Ans: I’m sorry – there are some rules about care! It is very important that you keep your teeth very clean. The glue we use to put the braces on with is very weak (so we can take them off easily at the end of your treatment) so you will have to cut up any hard foods you choose to eat. No energy or sports drinks and only soft drinks as a treat! They are very acidic and sugary and will make holes in your teeth in no time (whether you have braces on or not). We’ll provide you with lots of information at the time your braces are put on. Seeing us regularly does NOT mean you don’t need to see your dentist regularly during treatment. Extra dental hygiene visits may also be recommended.
