How could i prevent tooth decay from forming under my braces?

Meticulous hygiene: Excellent oral hygiene is critical to keep the risk for tooth decay at a minimum during braces treatment. The cements and bonding materials used to seal and attach the braces to the teeth either have flouride in them and the tooth is completely sealed in these area. But around the braces, meticulous hygiene care is necessary to keep the risk for decay down.

Brush, avoid sugar: Avoid what causes tooth decay: sugar and poor oral hygiene. Avoid sugar-containing foods, brush your teeth after every meal, and use floss threaders or other devices prescribed by your dentist to clean under and around orthodontic brackets and wires. Regular hygiene visits are a must for patients undergoing orthodontic therapy. Topical Fluoride treatments are also very helpful.

Good hygiene: Good oral hygiene, brushing and flossing and possibly using an electric tooth brush will help.Also consider using a Fluoride rinse

Protect your teeth: Brush twice a day with a Fluoride toothpaste. Clean under your braces daily with floss threader, floss picks, water pick, or other interdental cleaner. Eat nutritious meals and limit snacking. Check with your dentist about the use of supplemental fluoride. Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral examination.

Self control: Adopt two disciplines. First, keep your teeth immaculately clean, especially in area between the braces and the gum line and between your teeth. Ask your orthodontic specialist for specific instructions for cleaning with braces in place. Consider electric toothbrush and water pik along with any other recommendations. Second, don't damage your braces allowing bacteria to get behind the metal.
