Maintaining a beautiful smile is just as important as getting braces. In orthodontic medicine, the importance of proper dental hygiene cannot be overemphasized. Brackets promote the accumulation of plaque because the brackets and wire trap boob particles and form a shelf on the outside of the tooth, making it more difficult to clean. Plaque has the power to blacken teeth and destroy enamel. To keep your teeth in good health, read the instructions.

• Use a soft toothbrush to gently brush your teeth. It is important to keep the top of your teeth clean between your braces and gums. To properly clean the enamel, the bristles of the toothbrush should be in contact with the gums. To prevent inflammation in your gums, use a soft bristle brush and aim at it.
• Brush your teeth after every meal. Food gets trapped between the brace wires, so it is important to clean them regularly to remove plaque. It is a good idea to have a portable toothbrush with you. If you don’t have one, rinse with water for 30 seconds. Brushing after an acidic meal is an exception. To prevent enamel damage, brush your teeth 30 minutes to an hour after eating an orange or drinking a sports drink.
• Use a small amount of toothpaste when brushing your teeth. When using toothpaste foam, plaque and grit can be more difficult to notice. Brushing your teeth with a damp toothbrush around the brackets and between the wires is a great place to start. Instead of scrubbing, use a fine-toothed picking motion. After that, use a pea-sized toothpaste to clean as usual.
• Brush your teeth twice a day for a total of two minutes. Spend 30 seconds on each of your upper, lower, upper and lower left jaws. Brush both inside and outside of your teeth. Set a timer to make sure you brush for a full two minutes.
• Use a floss threader or waterpick to achieve this. Flossing is one of the most challenging tasks when you have braces on your teeth. If you tie the thread with the thread, it will be easier to thread the floss through the wire. To remove more plaque, use sewing motion. Consider getting a waterpick water flosser. He falls asleep quickly and easily with the flow of water.
• Wash mouth with mouthwash at night. Find a fluoride mouthwash with anti-cavity properties to help prevent tooth decay and protect the enamel. After washing for one minute, any remaining particles will be removed. After washing, look in the mirror to see if you missed anything.
