Back to School Tips

Back to School Tips

Posted on August 25th, 2016 at 10:53 AM

Summer is coming to an end which means most of you are back to school already. We at Murray & Iszkula Orthodontics would like to give a few helpful tips to ease you back into the school routine!

  • Remember to grab enough packs of elastics for both school and at home! Rubber bands align your bite, so not wearing them could make your treatment time longer.
  • Practice the 2X2 brushing rule: Brush TWO times a day for TWO minutes!
  • Don’t forget your water bottle! Drinking water throughout the day prevents cavities and keeps your mouth healthy and clean.
  • At lunchtime, try eat green vegetables, meat and poultry. Avoid hard foods, chips, soft drinks and sport drinks.
  • Don’t forget to smile! Show off your beautiful new smile to your friends and family and tell them to come visit us at Murray & Iszkula Orthodontics to start their adventure to an incredible smile too.
