Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush gently to avoid damaging the braces by hitting them during brushing. It is recommended to rinse your mouth with warm water before each brushing session, then apply toothpaste to the toothbrush and gently clean the upper and lower surfaces of the teeth, making sure to brush both the inner and outer surfaces. Use dental floss or an interdental brush to clean the spaces between the teeth and braces to maintain good oral hygiene. Additionally, after brushing each day, rinse your mouth with warm water to remove any remaining debris.
