How to brush teeth with braces

Choose a toothbrush that suits your needs. Soft-bristled toothbrushes are generally recommended to avoid using brushes that are too hard, which may damage the gums. Brush your teeth for at least two minutes each time, twice daily—once in the morning and once before bed. Use proper brushing techniques: brush from the gums toward the teeth, gently massaging the gums without applying excessive force. Additionally, clean between teeth daily with dental floss or floss picks to remove plaque.
