How To Brush Your Teeth With BracesTips in brushing your teeth with braces:

  • Don’t forget to floss your teeth after brushing. It helps you remove food particles which can’t be removed just by brushing.
  • Don’t use teeth whitening products- it will cause the uneven color of your teeth after your braces have been removed.
  • Use fluoride toothpaste to avoid tooth decay.
  • Don’t over brush your teeth- it may lead to sensitive gums which can cause bleeding.
  • Take a professional clean-up with your dentist once a month

This is important because the rubbers in your braces should be replaced every month and also for your mouth to be cleaned completely.
