Care of Dental Braces - What Dr. Schwalb Suggests...
 

One thing hasn't changed: if you wear braces, you must take care of them. Careful brushing and flossing between braces and under wires will keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy. Avoid eating foods that can break wires and loosen brackets such as those that are sticky (caramels and gum), hard to bite (uncut carrots, apples, and ice), or crunchy (popcorn, nuts, hard candy).

Orthodontics can make a world of difference in giving you something to really smile about!
