Orthodontic Emergency Kits

To survive everyday life with…

Braces:
1. A small toothbrush
2. A small tube of toothpaste
3. Floss
4. Gum can be helpful to dislodge food after you have eaten if it isn’t convenient to brush your teeth.
5. Wax for those times when your cheeks hurt a lot.

Bands: And if you have bands,
1. Extra bands in case they break.

Head Gear, if you have to wear it 24/7
1. Toothbrush to brush off dried spit and food that gets on it before you put it back in if you take out your headgear to eat.
2. A case to put your head gear in when you take it out.

Retainers:
1. A small hard plastic case to put them in.
2. A small toothbrush to clean your teeth after you eat.


You should be covered if you have these things, we suggest buying a small bag and putting these things in it. Or worst case bring gum. Its a good idea after you have eaten to freshen your breath and dislodge food.
