2. use the timer Dr. Saxe gave you and brush for this long
3. brush your gums and the base of your teeth
4. brush on top of your brackets
5. brush on the bottom of your brackets and the edges of your teeth
6. brush on the inside of your teeth
7. brush your tongue

Flossing

Use a floss threader to assist you with flossing under your wires.

Rinses
Any over the counter oral rinse will work such as Listerine, Crest or Act.

Ask Dr. Saxe for replacement tooth brush supplies as needed

WARNING:  Poor Oral hygiene results in white scars on the surfaces of teeth and cavities. 

It is up to YOU (not your Mom, Dad, Grandparents, babysitter, siblings, best friend or pet)
to care for your beautiful teeth.  You can do it!
