Buy a very soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste ( for example Arm & Hammer). Many persons use
a water-pik set at the lowest setting. Eat non-sticky foods.

Ortho wax. Can get in the dental aisle at any pharmacy.
Usually, we provide new braces wearers with ortho wax to shield the gums from the braces, generally the mouth tissue adapts to the braces and the wax is not needed after the first week or so.
