• Make sure that you floss twice a day as this will
  help in cleaning the entire mouth properly,
  especially the areas that the toothbrush might
  have missed otherwise.
• Brushing after every meal using fluoride
  toothpaste with gentle, soft strokes will help
  you in keeping the mouth clean especially when
  you have braces on your teeth.

• Instead of using an ordinary toothbrush, you must
  make use of an interdentally toothbrush that can
  help clean the hard to reach areas under wires.
• During the orthodontic treatment, when you are in
  the phase of making use of elastics, you must
  remove them only before eating or brushing your
  teeth, otherwise elastics should be worn
  permanently.

• Wearing elastics all the time, except brushing
  and eating is important, but wearing elastics of
  accurate size is as important as they prevent
  your teeth from going back to their original
  position.
• In case you experience any damage to your
  appliance, you must immediately consult the
  dentist you are taking your treatment from.
• Make sure you avoid hard, sticky, chewy or sour
  foods, including gum, caramel, nuts, chips or
  hard candies while undergoing this treatment as
  these can loosen, break or bend the wires and
  bands of the appliance
