Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment should not only brush their teeth three times a day with an orthodontic toothbrush but also use an interdental brush to clean spaces between brackets. Mouthwashes may also be used to support this care.

Teeth move with forces impacting them. The fall of braces means that such a force is no longer inflicted on teeth and as a result, the treatment stops. Falling braces should be reattached as soon as possible.
