Umm I would suggest you visit the dentist, it could be some form of halitosis? :frown:

Everyone has bad breath in the morning, because you haven't been salivating much overnight so bacteria can build up on your tongue. Just make sure to thoroughly brush your tongue after you brush your teeth that morning.

Don't bite into hard-boiled sweets though, that can break your brace. Mouthwash is a safer bet.

yeah you mite also want to brush your teeth before you go to bed aswel, it helped a bit for me, and get a long lasting mouth wash to keep your breath nice and minty.
