My mouth smells really terrible because I'm wearing a clip. What should I do?

Bad smell with a dental clip (braces) usually happens due to food getting stuck and bacterial buildup. Brush your teeth properly after every meal, clean around the brackets using an interdental brush or soft toothbrush, and rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash. If the smell continues, visit your dentist for a professional cleaning and to check for gum infection.
