article: In order for your devotions to really impact your day-to-day life, it's important to be consistent. If you want to have a devotion every day, it's helpful to do it at the same time each day. Pick a time, and treat it like an important appointmenttry your best not to schedule anything else during that time. Many people prefer to have their devotions early in the morning so they can start the day focused on their relationship with God. However, others prefer having their devotion in the evening before bed so they can reflect on everything that happened during the day. Find the time that works best for you. Your devotion doesn't have to be very longstart by setting aside 10-15 minutes a day. It's okay to be flexible. If you have something important you have to do when you'd normally do your devotion, try to find another time during the day to do it instead. However, even if you miss a day, you can just pick up where you left off the next day. In order to be really focused on God's word, it's important that you don't have a lot of noise or chaos going on around you. Pick a quiet spot where you'll feel comfortable, and make sure to turn off the TV, radio, or anything else that might distract you. In Psalm 46:10, the Bible says, "Be still, and know that I am God." If you're quiet and relaxed, you'll be more likely to feel His presence around you. If you live with other people, they might unintentionally interrupt you when you're trying to have your devotion. Try letting them know that you'd like a little time each day to read your Bible and pray, and tell them when you plan to do it. That way, they'll at least be aware of what you're doing, and they might be more likely to wait until you're finished before they come talk to you. For instance, you might say something like, "Hey Mom, I'd really like to start doing a devotion every day when I wake up. Do you think you could help keep my little brother from coming in the room until after about 7:15?" A devotion isn't a set of rules and routines, but a chance to have a closer relationship with God. Your devotion might not look exactly like anyone else's, and that's okayGod created you to be unique, and He loves you for who you are. Try not to think of it as a chore, but a chance to deepen your relationship with Him.

Since braces require placing devices on your teeth, use a proper toothbrush or toothbrushes. Purchase a regular brush and consider adding a braces-specific proxabrush to get between brackets. Get a regular brush with soft bristles. Make sure the brush size and shape fit your mouth, which can help reach all areas of your mouth. Buy a proxabrush, or "Christmas tree" brush, if you like. This may help you more effectively clean between braces. Replace any brush with frayed bristles or every 3-4 months. Run your toothbrush(es) under water and put a pea-sized dollop of toothpaste on it. This can ensure the most effective cleaning of your teeth, braces, and oral cavity. Use fluoride toothpaste. It can help strengthen your teeth and remove plaque, which may build up around braces with improper brushing. Braces may make your teeth sensitive, so you may want to use a fluoride toothpaste formulated to minimize sensitivity. Section your mouth into top, left, right, and bottom quadrants for brushing. Setting up specific sections can help you make sure that every surface is properly cleaned. Brush whichever section you want or what makes you most comfortable. Make sure to brush your tongue and the roof of your mouth as well. Hold your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle using gentle pressure. Make sure the brush stays in contact with the surface of your teeth and gum line. Brush from outer to inner tooth surfaces with short strokes and repeat the process for each section of your mouth. Brush the inside surfaces of your front teeth by angling the brush vertically and making several up and down strokes. Pay attention to the surfaces around and in-between your braces, which is where plaque can build up. Brush chewing surfaces, your tongue, and soft palate using a scrubbing motion that gently goes back and forth. Wearing braces means that your gums will always be slightly inflamed, so expect small amounts of bleeding. This is normal. When you've finished using your regular brush, consider using a proxabrush, or "Christmas tree" brush. This may help you more effectively clean between individual brackets if you are concerned your regular brush isn't enough. Work on two teeth at a time. Insert the brush from the top of the wire between two brackets and then repeat from the bottom. Each time your brush your teeth, take time to floss as well. Because debris can easily get stuck in teeth with braces and plaque can build up, flossing is can help remove lingering debris. Remove about 18 inches of floss from the packaging. Wrap it around your middle fingers. Grasp the rest between your thumbs and forefingers. Gently feed the floss between the top of your tooth near the gum and the main arch wire of your bracket. Use a gentle sawing motion on the side of each tooth. Ask your orthodontist if there is a specific type of floss you should use. The floss used to clean dental bridges may be a good option because it has a tip that gently goes between your teeth and gums. Try water-flossing if you don't like regular floss or your doctor suggests it. . Rinse your mouth with mouthwash after you've brushed and flossed. Studies have shown that using a mouthwash may decrease plaque, which can be a problem for people with braces. It may also clear lingering food particles or bacteria. Swish the mouthwash in your mouth. Buy a mouthwash with chlorhexidine, which many oral care professionals recommend. Mouthwashes containing alcohol can dry out your mouth and cause bad breath. You may have some tenderness if you recently had your braces tightened or adjusted. Don't let this deter you from brushing. Take an over-the-counter pain medication to relieve discomfort. Take over-the-counter pain relievers such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, or acetaminophen. Let your orthodontist know if you are in a lot of pain. It is better to return to your orthodontist for another 5 minutes to get a small adjustment than to suffer from increased pressure, which may produce longterm negative effects.
