Floss and brush at least twice a day, and use a mouthwash to loosen food particles that can often become stuck in the metal. Use hydrogen peroxide to whiten teeth and keep them looking polished.

    Unfortunately, and quite frankly, I don't think there's a way to make braces pretty. I'd focus on other features. Maybe try a new hairstyle or trendy clothes or makeup. Take the focus away from your smile instead of towards it. (I hope this doesn't sound mean in any way.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant.

It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.
