Tips for Cleaning Teeth while Wearing Braces

Metal braces are great for straightening teeth but can make brushing and flossing difficult. 

Top tips:

– Use an electric toothbrush because the smaller rotating head is very effective at removing plaque.

– Talk to your dentist about using interdental cleaners or flossers to help clean under the metal wires.

– Consider using mouthwash too.

If you are struggling to keep your teeth clean, talk to your dentist who will be able to provide more tips.

“If you do choose to stick with a manual toothbrush, keep in mind that your toothbrush bristles may wear out faster than normal.”
