Oral care: To have straight teeth that have no bone support is a waste of time and money. Ask your orthodontist for specific hygiene instructions while braces are on. Keep mouth healthy an scrupulously clean. See general dentist at least 4x/year for cleanings while braces are on, even if insurance doesn't cover the work.
