How to brush teeth with braces

It is recommended to brush your teeth at least twice a day for 2–3 minutes each time during orthodontic treatment, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild toothpaste to gently clean both your teeth and the surface of the braces. After each brushing, use dental floss or an interdental brush to clean the spaces between the teeth and braces to prevent food debris from accumulating. Additionally, using mouthwash can effectively clean the mouth and reduce bacterial growth. Moreover, schedule regular check-ups and professional cleanings at the clinic monthly to maintain the cleanliness and comfort of your braces. If your braces become damaged or loose, seek dental care promptly.
