1. Wax - From my orthodontist I got some special wax that you put at the back of your braces to stop them from rubbing on the insides of your mouth, it is really useful! I would definitely recommend because it is almost certain that your braces will cut the inside of your mouth and the wax really helps it. One tip: don't use if you are about to eat, I would say the best time to use it is before bed.
2. Toothbrush at School - You can get special toothbrushes that have pointed tips, these are perfect for getting food out from between your braces. I would also recommend taking one to school for after lunch, it is quick to do and then you don't feel disgusting for the rest of the day.
3. Wear your Retainers - I know a lot of people don't consistently wear their pre or post train track retainers which I think is mad1 I had retainers before train tracks and although I thought that they were horrible at the time, I know realize that the shorten the train track process by miles! I now have to wear retainers every night since having braces and because your teeth are always moving I find that if i leave them out for even only 1 night then I can certainly feel it the next time I come to wear them. That is why it is so important to wear them, because if you don't then your teeth will just go back to normal.
I hope you found this post useful and thank you for reading.
