You and your orthodontist are now a team. You both want the same thing— a beautiful smile with healthy, white, straight teeth. Your orthodontist will straighten your teeth, but you are the one who must keep them healthy and white. You know that means brushing. Now that you have braces, proper brushing will take some extra time and effort.

When your braces come off, you want your teeth to look their best, so start today to be your smile's best friend. Remember - brush...rinse...and look until your teeth and braces are spotlessly clean!

These teeth and braces are
spotlessly clean. Keep yours
that way, and you will have
a beautiful smile when your
braces are removed.

Don't let these things happen to your smile!

Plaque and trapped food have made these gums sore and swollen.	Careless brushing has left permanent marks on these teeth.

PLAQUE IS THE PROBLEM

Plaque is a sticky, white substance that collects on your teeth. It is made up of bacteria, food and saliva. If plaque and trapped food are left on your teeth and around your braces, they can cause swollen gums, bad breath, marks on your teeth and cavities. Plaque also can discolor your teeth and make them look yellow. Don't let any of these things happen to you—be your smile's best friend by brushing often and properly. Also, remember to visit your family dentist for regular checkups.
