Flossing with braces is one of the most important steps in protecting your gums and enamel during treatment.

Food and plaque easily get trapped around brackets and wires, which can lead to inflammation, cavities, and white spots if not removed daily.

Using floss threaders, orthodontic floss, or a water flosser can make cleaning much easier and more effective.

Ask our team which flossing tools are best for your braces.

Cleaning around braces requires extra care, but it’s essential.

Brushing after meals, using floss threaders, and rinsing daily help prevent plaque buildup, white spots, and gum inflammation during treatment.
