6. Orthodontic Equipment Management
Any and all removable orthodontic equipment must be properly washed and dried between uses in order to keep odor-causing bacteria from growing. If you wear permanent braces, you must make every effort to clean in between your wires, availing yourself of floss and other tools, to make sure your are not collecting food that will make your breath smell later.
7. Replace Your Brush
All of your avid brushing is great for your breath, but remember to replace the brush every couple of months so that your cleaning tool stays clean.
