Advice for Starting a New School Year with Braces

February 22, 2019|

Your Greater Salt Lake City Area Braces Provider

Utah Orthodontic Care has been a trusted Greater Salt Lake City Area orthodontics provider for over 35 years. Since 1976, UOC has been making braces convenient and affordable for patients of all ages, with treatments like Invisalign and ceramic braces. Because we want you to have the best orthodontic experience possible, we always do our best to ensure our patients are armed with all the knowledge they need to make the treatment process go smoothly.
Getting back to school can be a hectic time of year, even when you’re not wearing braces. If you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment from your Salt Lake City braces provider, it’s important to go back-back to school with the knowledge and supplies necessary to ensure treatment isn’t derailed by a busy school schedule. Luckily, Utah Orthodontic Care is here to help your family with some helpful advice on starting a new school year with braces.

Build a Braces Kit

It’s important to ensure your child is able to follow the same dental hygiene practices at school that they would at home, so making sure they’re prepared with all the right supplies is a great first step. Use a small zippered pouch or bag and fill it with some essential supplies such as:

  • A toothbrush and toothpaste
  • Waxed dental floss and threaders
  • Proxy brushes
  • Orthodontic wax
  • A compact mirror

Keeping this supplies handy will make it much easier for your child to properly clean their teeth after eating lunch, as well as giving them the necessary tools to remove stuck-on food or address orthodontic discomfort they may experience during the day. If you’re having difficulty finding things like orthodontic wax or proxy brushes in your local drugstore, talk to your Salt Lake City orthodontics provider.

Don’t Wait — Contact Your Salt Lake City Braces Provider Now

At Utah Orthodontic Care, we strive to deliver our patients an effective, stress-free treatment process. Make sure your child goes back to school prepared to handle any orthodontic situation. If you have questions on how to further prepare your child, or if you’re interested in learning more about orthodontic treatment for your family, contact us today to set up a free consultation. We have many convenient locations, so a reliable Greater Salt Lake Area orthodontic provider is never far away!
