Read more to learn about our unique S.W.A.T program and our dedication to proper oral health while in orthodontic treatment.
S.W.A.T. Straight White Attractive Teeth
One of the key ingredients in the recipe for a beautiful smile with braces is excellent oral hygiene. Pittsburgh Orthodontic Clinic is committed to providing you with proper oral hygiene instructions, motivational tools to help you succeed and a “Score Your Smile” system to keep you on track throughout treatment.
In order to maintain the pace of your treatment and have a beautiful smile when the braces come off, you need to be sure that you brush and floss your teeth, gums and braces very well. The day you get your braces on, our team will go over the importance of how to brush and floss, what foods to avoid and what to expect with braces.
In addition, you will receive the S.W.A.T. (Straight White Attractive Teeth) Tool-Kit, which includes:
| ． |
Waterpik Electric Toothbrush |
| ． |
Waterflosser |
| ． |
Prescription fluoride paste |
| ． |
Orthodontic flossing aids |
You will need to:
| ． |
Use these products as recommended everyday |
| ． |
Floss before brush-at least once a day |
| ． |
Make wise food choices and avoid actions that could damage my braces, such as biting into hard foods and eating foods high in sugar |
| ． |
Score your smile at each visit to see how you are doing. This information will be recorded on a score card |
With S.W.A.T. teamwork you will be on your way to clean, healthy teeth and gums and that perfect smile.
