Ask ur Orthodontist: With new Orthodontic appliances comes a period of adjustment. Keep appliances spotlessly clean. Eat a soft high protein diet. Take Advil (ibuprofen) exactly as directed on the package. Ask your qualified Orthodontic Specialist for "care and feeding" instructions.

Take care of them: brush regularly and wear the elastics as instructed by your orthodontist.
