We Get It—You Want the Big Reveal to Be Perfect

Braces create tiny nooks where food and plaque like to hide. Even the most careful brusher can miss spots, and over time, that can lead to stains, cavities, or gum irritation.

You’re not just worried about clean teeth—you’re picturing that exciting day when the braces come off. You want that moment to be pure joy, not a surprise of white spots or discoloration.

At Petrover Orthodontics, we understand. That’s why our team partners with you to make oral hygiene practical, easy, and even a little fun.

We Protect What You’ve Worked So Hard For

We don’t just straighten teeth—we protect smiles.

Our doctors and clinical team teach every patient (and parent) how to keep braces spotless with hands-on coaching, the right tools, and routines that are easy to stick with.

You’ll leave every visit knowing exactly what to do—and feeling supported every step of the way.

“A great smile isn’t just about how straight it is. It’s about how healthy it stays.”

Dr. Jonathan Petrover

A Simple Routine That Keeps Smiles on Track

1. Brush Smarter, Not Harder

We’ll show you how to angle your toothbrush above, below, and around each bracket for a deep clean that keeps plaque away. Electric toothbrushes can make a big difference—and we’ll help you choose one that’s right for you.

2. Floss Made Easy

Flossing with braces doesn’t have to be frustrating. With floss threaders, orthodontic floss, or a Waterpik®, it becomes quick and painless. We’ll show you how.

3. Eat for Success

We make eating with braces easier with our smart food guide. You’ll know which snacks to skip and which swaps still feel fun (yes, you can still enjoy movie night).

Quick Oral Hygiene FAQs

Orthodontic patients should brush 3 times per day, using a soft-bristled or electric toothbrush angled above and below each bracket. Fluoride toothpaste is recommended to protect enamel. Floss once daily using floss threaders, orthodontic floss, or a Waterpik® to clean under the wire. Rinsing with a fluoride mouthwash can also help prevent white spots and strengthen enamel. Consistency is the key to avoiding stains, cavities, or gum irritation during treatment.
Orthodontic care can begin at many ages. Early evaluations help guide growth, while teens and adults can start treatment anytime.
Invisalign and braces both work well. The best option depends on your needs, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
Most people qualify for braces. Certain dental conditions may need to be addressed first, which your orthodontist will guide you through.
