7. Self-Care
During treatment, a person with malocclusion can take care of their teeth by developing good oral hygiene habits. This includes regular and careful brushing and flossing to prevent decay. Orthodontic devices such as braces can make it harder to keep the teeth clean and free from debris. For this reason, the person may be instructed by their orthodontist to apply a regular fluoride treatment to prevent decay and decalcification.
