During orthodontic treatment, brushing your teeth requires greater care and patience. Because braces can easily trap food particles and bacteria, it is recommended to use a toothbrush with a small head and soft bristles to better clean both teeth and braces. When brushing, hold the bristles at a 45-degree angle to the tooth surface and gently move the brush to ensure all surfaces of each tooth are cleaned. Use dental floss to clean between teeth and prevent food debris from accumulating. Rinse with mouthwash to keep your mouth clean and breath fresh.
