Oral hygiene should be made a priority, especially when you are undergoing orthodontic treatment for Invisalign or even simple braces. Bad breath is a normal problem, but it can increase while you are using braces.

While under treatment using braces, the bad breath causing bacteria have more places to hide; thus, you need to be diligent with your oral hygiene practices.

Swiatek Orthodontics has a few simple tips that you all might be aware of but fail to incorporate them into your day-to-day life. Join the bandwagon as we help you in improving your oral health.

Make a habit of brushing your teeth after every meal.

Never forget to:

- Brush and floss your teeth daily
- Use a good quality mouthwash
- Go for regular check-ups
- Rinse your teeth properly before wearing your invisible braces

With braces, you have a different set of challenges as food debris can cause plaque, leading to cavities and cause discoloration of your aligners.

The best part about Invisalign is that they are removable and super comfy. While eating, soak it in lukewarm water and wear it only after brushing your teeth.

Eat with care

Due to the detachable nature of the invisible braces, you are free to eat and drink anything that you like. However, you need to remove your aligners before eating and drinking.

Drink plenty of water

Stay hydrated as it helps to keep your braces clean, keeps your mouth moisturized, and flushes out all the toxins in the body. Make a point to carry a bottle of water wherever you go.

Another reason for this is that when your mouth is too dry, saliva cannot function properly. This is because the work of saliva is to remove the stuck-on food debris from your teeth. Not having enough water can cause bacteria to make its way into the cracks and crevices of the mouth, leading to (yes, you guessed it right!) bad breath.

Breath Mints

If you are maintaining proper hygiene but still feel that you may have bad breath, then you can also take resort to mouth fresheners or mints. These will help you to cope up with bad breath or even the feeling of it!

These tips will surely ward off all the reasons responsible for bad breath. If you have been too lazy to care for your teeth, then visit us for a free consultation!
