2. Eating and Drinking

     - Stick to soft foods for the first few days.

         ​​​​

3. Oral Hygiene

     - Brush after every meal with a soft-bristled toothbrush.

     - Clean around brackets and under wires carefully.

     - Floss daily using a floss threader or special orthodontic floss, use an interdental brush or water flosser for easier cleaning.
