Dental care with fixed braces is a challenge<\/strong> for most patients<\/strong>. But if you’re determined and persistent<\/strong>, you’ll develop a routine<\/strong> that helps you keep your teeth healthy. <\/p>\n

The areas surrounding the brackets<\/strong> are the main problem. The enamel directly beneath the bracket is protected by the bracket and the adhesive. <\/p>\n

A regular toothbrush can’t reach the small nooks, crannies, and gaps created by the brackets and wires. For these areas, you’ll need a “special tool”<\/strong>\u2014not from a hardware store, but from a drugstore: interdental brushes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
