I find the braces very easy to clean.  I use a mouthwash prior to brushing them, and after I use a small interdental brush to clean in between the braces.  It doesn’t bother me that I spend a little longer cleaning my teeth now I have braces on, as it’s great to know they are clean and healthy.

During the first couple of months having braces on I used a tooth brush to brush my teeth.  However, further into my journey I have invested in an electric toothbrush for a better clean.  The usual routine of cleaning my teeth includes using mouth wash first, followed by brushing with my electric toothbrush and then flossing with my mini flossing brush.
   

I dislike that my teeth are not straight. It is not obvious that they’re not straight at first glance but on camera and in photos it is more visible. I want to work in television and compete in Miss New Zealand so I would like straight teeth for those reasons.
 
I found North shore dental by a friend of mine who I work with, she told me how she got braces from Mike Black. She said Mike was a great to get along with. I also met a mother and daughter at work who got braces here and they both agreed North shore dental has been fantastic with them.

 When I had my initial consultation with Mike I was very satisfied with the service. Mike is easy to get along with. He makes you feel comfortable and not intimidated. He was thorough and clear when explaining to me what was needed to be done with my teeth and was honest which I appreciated.
