How to clean teeth while wearing braces
1. Brushing: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean the surfaces of your teeth and braces, making sure to reach every corner and crevice. Brush your teeth at least twice daily, once in the morning and once at night.
2. Using mouthwash: Use the mouthwash recommended by your dentist, which can help kill bacteria in the mouth and keep breath fresh.
3. Using dental floss/interdental brushes: Hard-to-reach areas around the braces can be cleaned with dental floss or interdental brushes to ensure food debris and bacteria are thoroughly removed.
4. Regular check-ups: Visit your dentist regularly for oral examinations and professional cleanings, allowing the dentist to assess your periodontal condition and help clean areas around the braces that are difficult to reach.
