Five Ways to Celebrate National Orthodontic Health Month from The Brace Place

TULSA, Okla. - Oct. 16, 2023 - PRLog -- October is National Orthodontic Health Month. That's why award-winning, Tulsa, OK orthodontist Dr. Anand Patel at The Brace Place wants to offer five ways to keep oral and orthodontic health top of mind this month.

1. Hold Back A Little On The Halloween Haul

Since October is also Halloween season, candy is an expected and much anticipated part of the month. But it's not always so great for oral health. Dr. Patel recommends enjoying treats in moderation and ensuring at least a swish of water if not brushing teeth after indulging.

2. Make An Orthodontic Appointment

If an initial visit to the orthodontist has been on the to-do list for a while, National Orthodontic Health Month is a great time to get it checked off. The Brace Place offers free initial consultations at their bright and welcoming Tulsa and Claremore, OK orthodontic offices.

3. Share A Smile On Social Media

Have braces or clear aligners? Snap a smiley selfie and use the hashtag #NationalOrthodonticHealthMonth to join with others on the journey to a healthier, happier smile.

4. Switch Up The Braces Elastics

Been sporting the same elastics colors since the beginning of braces treatment? Celebrate National Orthodontic Health Month by sporting new colors.

5. Put Together an Orthodontic Travel Kit

Pack a small dental and orthodontic to-go kit with oral health and braces or clear aligner essentials. A travel-sized toothbrush, fluoride toothpaste, and dental floss keep teeth and braces free of plaque and food debris. Include orthodontic wax, a compact mirror, and tissues. Plus a clear aligner storage case if using Invisalign®.
