Preparation is key: You can show your child the images & videos of the procedure ahead of the actual treatment. Help them brush & floss their teeth twice a day to maintain the right amount of oral hygiene. Watch out during the treatment: You will have to be observant in order to ensure that your child’s braces are kept clean. This will aid towards avoiding cavities & gum issues. Diet intake: Any food that is crunchy or sticky has a way of breaking the braces, which is why those types of food should be avoided. Food & beverages with a lot of sugar should be cut down or avoided altogether if possible. Look for alternatives: If your child can’t bear the appliance, then it is best to look into alternatives. Such as, removable clear aligners (Invisalign?). Not only is the process easier but it’s also faster & more efficient as there is no mouth sores compared to traditional braces.
