Before Braces DOS:
DO take a pain reliever before getting your braces.
DO make sure the appointment date/time works well with your schedule. Make sure you don't have a big events after. You'll be a little sore and probably won't want to eat hard food or enjoy playing an instrument.
DO brush your teeth before going in!

DON'T chew really sticky gum!
DON'T eat corn right off the cob cut it off first.
DON'T whiten while you have braces. It's bad for them.Health Question & Answer

Hi, I'd suggest you use tooth mousse(ask your dentist about this) a month before and during your treatment. It remineralizes and strengthen your enamel(outer layer of the tooth) so the brackets will be bonded nicely and bacteria will not stick to your teeth easily.
You should have a good oral hygiene, during ortho treatment, you need to be more religious doing all the hygiene regime of brushing, flossing and using an internedtal brush and application of tooth mousse day and night.Poor hygiene during ortho can cause cavities, gum disease and bad breath.
You might want to ask your orthodontist for a hygiene brochure to get the full details :)Health Question & Answer
