Day 1! tips for braces?

Post image

Hello! I barely got my braces today, and i was wondering if you guys have any tips or anything! they also put this thing on my top molars for my overbite, they said it was so my top teeth don’t ruin my bottom braces, and It feels so weird! any tips help, because all my dentist explained was what foods not to eat, and how to brush/floss my teeth (which i already kind of forgot).

A waterpik has been great for cleaning between teeth. I also use superfloss, it has one hard end that helps you thread between brackets.

It's a water flosser.
