Dr. Craig Williams Orthodontics

Straightening your smile isn’t just about looks — it improves bite, speech, and overall oral health too. 🦷💫
Whether you’re rocking metal braces, clear aligners, or retainers, every adjustment brings you one step closer to your best smile. Keep it up!

🍬 Sticky, crunchy, and chewy — oh my!
Here are the top foods to avoid with braces:
❌ Popcorn
❌ Gum
❌ Hard candies
❌ Chewy caramels
Your brackets will thank you (and so will your orthodontist)!

Yes, it’s annoying. Yes, it takes longer. But flossing with braces is a non-negotiable.
Use a floss threader, water flosser, or pre-threaded picks.
Because that popcorn kernel isn’t coming out on its own—and neither is that plaque 👀

Rubber bands may look small—but they’re the real MVPs of your ortho treatment.
They’re literally pulling your bite into place.
Wear them. Change them. Don’t chew them.
(Take it from us—you don’t want to extend your braces life sentence.)

Love iced coffee, dark tea, or sports drinks? Your brackets do not.
These can stain your teeth and leave uneven coloring after treatment.
👉 Stick to water or sip through a straw. And skip the slushie—your future selfie will thank you. 📸
