The best ways to avoid damaging your braces are:
- Be careful what you eat and how you bite. Hard and chewy foods such as nuts and toffee should be avoided. Food like apples and crusty bread should be cut into small pieces to avoid having to bite into them.
- Do not bite your fingernails or chew on pencils, pens, etc.
- If you take part in contact sports such as rugby, hockey or martial arts you should still wear a mouth guard – please ask for details.
- It is vital to continue to visit your own dentists for regular check-ups even when having orthodontic treatment.
