Is your child getting ready for the new school year? Are they also undergoing orthodontic treatment<\/a>? While there are numerous things they\u2019ll have to keep in mind, staying on track with their process as well as preserving their smile will be incredibly important. Studies have shown that students with bad oral health can end up with reduced school performance. To help promote your child\u2019s academic success, here are several orthodontic tips they should follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Maintain a Good Oral Hygiene Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Establishing great oral hygiene is crucial for oral health, especially for those undergoing orthodontic treatment. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll want to encourage your child to brush and floss their teeth every morning and right before going to bed. They\u2019ll also need to take time to use interdental flossers after meals (if they have traditional braces), as this can prevent bacteria and plaque from forming between their brackets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stick to a Soft Food Diet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The last thing you\u2019d want is to have your child miss class because they need to repair a broken wire or bracket. This can often happen because a patient bites something too hard or sticky to chew. To prevent this, make sure your child maintains a soft food diet, such as applesauce, mashed potatoes, and eggs. This way they won\u2019t have to worry about damaging either their teeth or their braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invest in Custom Mouthguards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Does your child like to participate in contact sports? While these can be exciting and fun, there\u2019s also a possibility of getting hit in the mouth, which can be especially harmful with braces. To help protect your child\u2019s pearly whites, consider getting them personalized mouthguards. These appliances can cushion their teeth and protect their braces from getting damaged. This way your child will be able to enjoy their favorite sports while lowering their risk of an orthodontic emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule Visits for Orthodontic Emergencies Right Away<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your child notices any issues with their braces or experiences an orthodontic emergency, make sure to get them scheduled for a visit sooner rather than later. Even if the situation isn\u2019t life-threatening, leaving it unchecked for too long can make them susceptible to further damage and complications later on. By getting your child treated as soon as possible, they\u2019ll be able to quickly return to enjoying a more comfortable smile without experiencing a significant reduction in their school performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget to prioritize your child\u2019s oral health throughout the year, as orthodontic issues can easily distract from their academic success. Encourage them to follow these tips, and they can be sure to enjoy a smoother semester and treatment process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
