Absolutely! It’s even imperative. Certain foods can get lodged in your orthodontic appliance that can’t be removed with brushing. This can cause a number of easily preventable problems like cavities, gingivitis, and other types of gum disease. It is therefore very important that your appliance be kept impeccably clean, and that you seek the help of your dentist in this regard. Rest assured that we will collaborate closely with your dentist to help you maintain optimal oral and dental health throughout your treatment.
