You'll soon notice that braces don't inform that many changes in your day-to-day life. There are a few areas where you might notice a considerable impact, though. First of all, your oral health will be much more susceptible to negligence, which is why we encourage all patients to develop strong oral hygiene habits before and during their orthodontic care. Second, patients who wear braces have to make some changes to their dietary habits and choices in foods and drinks if they wish to avoid damaging their orthodontic appliance.
