I just had my braces, any tips to give me for taking care of my teeth and my braces?

How do i take of care of my teeth and braces? My dentist gave me a kit with a special toothbrush, some wax, floss, tablets(to chew so that it would stain all the plaque on my teeth color red) and "rincinol"... should I always use those things every after I eat? any tips that could help? detailed tips would be greatly appreciated..

just be sure to rinse really well when you do brush your teeth %26amp; such, and use a water pick. it gets messy but it worked for me! the wax didnt help so much, it just bunched up on its own and i ended up swallowing some (i don't reccomend it). but it is most important to rinse %26amp; make sure you brush behind the wires %26amp; brackets because if food stays back there, there will be a gross stain on your teeth when the braces come off.
Reply:I am 31 now but when I was 15 my mother so graciously gave me braces. All I did was brush after EVERY meal and that keep them clean. (hint: eat something hard, cereal, the first couple of days after tightning. It will hurt but will get you teeth use to eat hard foods faster.)
Reply:Dont bite anything hard because it will really hurt and your braces might fall out, when you bite something hard. Follow everything your dentist tells you to do, it will really help a lot. You should always use the things the dentist gave to you because it will ease the pain and make your teeth healthy and beautiful in the end.
