For Patients

Log In

If you’re tired of fighting hygiene battles, it’s time to turn your brackets into a behavior tool. WildSmiles makes brushing more visual, more engaging, and more effective—especially in January when families are ready for a fresh start.

Most orthodontists dread poor brushing—and for good reason. White spots. Frustrated parents. Delayed progress. But what if your brackets could help solve the problem? In this article, we explore how WildSmiles brackets not only increase patient excitement but also improve oral hygiene through a simple visual cue. It’s the January upgrade your practice (and your patients) need.

“When the shape stays clean, kids feel proud. When it’s cloudy, they know it’s time to brush again.”

Can You See the Shape? Why WildSmiles Is the Bracket Kids Brush For

January is the season of new habits. Families are setting goals. Parents are talking routines. And kids—believe it or not—are open to trying something new.

That makes it the perfect time to reframe the hygiene conversation.

Because while brushing is always important in ortho treatment, WildSmiles turns it into something tangible.

The Shape Effect: Visual Hygiene in Action WildSmiles Braces come in fun, bold shapes—stars, hearts, footballs, and more. That’s great for style, but it also does something else: it gives kids a visual marker for brushing.

If they can clearly see the shape, they know they’re brushing well. If the shape is clouded with plaque or debris, they know it’s time to go back and try again.

It’s instant feedback. No lectures. No nagging.

When Kids Care, Parents Breathe Easier One of the most frustrating things for parents during ortho treatment is feeling like they’re the hygiene police. But when a child has ownership over their brackets—especially brackets they got to choose—they’re more likely to take care of them.

It’s not just “braces.” It’s their smile. Their shape. Their job to keep it clean.

That shift relieves pressure from parents and builds trust in your process.

From Brushing Compliance to Brand Loyalty WildSmiles doesn’t just improve hygiene. It improves engagement. Kids get excited to show off their shape. They look forward to appointments. And they tell their friends.

That means fewer emergencies, better outcomes, and happier families.

Your January Hygiene Playbook If you’re ready to lead with brushing this month, here’s how to make WildSmiles part of the conversation:

  • Add a “Can You See the Shape?” sign to your brushing station
