📚Tips For Going Back to School with Braces!📚

Starting a new school year is always so exciting, but it can also bring challenges, especially if you have just gotten braces! But fear not, with the right tips and tricks, we will help make this transition easy!

1. Be Prepared – consider keeping a basic care kit in your backpack or locker! Having the items listed below will ensure you are set for any braces-related issue that might occur!

Soft-bristled toothbrush
Travel size toothpaste
Dental floss/Orthodontic Flossers
Dental Wax
Lip balm/Chapstick
Extra rubberbands

2. Navigating School Lunches and Snacks with Braces – with a little planning and creativity, it is possible to find tasty and nutritious options that cater to orthodontic needs.

Choose braces-friendly foods
Stay away from anything sticky and chewy
Drink water with your meals – this helps keep your teeth clean + keeps you hydrated
3. Stay Safe – consider a mouthguard for sports-related activities.
Investing in a properly fitted orthodontic mouth guard tailored for children with braces can make all the difference in protecting their smile during physical activities. A specialized mouth guard can help provide crucial protection against impacts, collisions, and falls, ensuring that your child’s braces and mouth remain unharmed. Both orthodontic and non-orthodontic mouth guards are readily available at major sporting goods stores!

** Remember to stay consistent with your oral hygiene routine, attend regular check-ups with your orthodontist, and don’t be afraid to ask for help if you experience any discomfort. **

With a positive attitude and these helpful tips, we know you breeze through the school year with a smile + braces!
