Introduction • Having braces can make it more difficult to keep your teeth clean. • This is because the braces can trap food and plaque, which can lead to cavities and gum disease. • There are a number of techniques that you can use to clean your teeth with braces. • These techniques will help to remove plaque and food from around the braces and keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Techniques Flossing Brushing • Flossing is essential for removing plaque from between your teeth. • When you have braces, you may need to use a special type of floss called "orthodontic floss." • This floss has a stiff wire that helps to guide the floss between the brackets. • Brushing your teeth with braces is just as important as flossing. • You should use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. • Be sure to brush all surfaces of your teeth, including the brackets and wires.
Techniques Rinsing Sticky foods • Rinsing your mouth after brushing can help to remove any remaining plaque or food particles. • You can use a fluoride mouthwash or plain water. • Avoid sticky foods, such as candy, gum, and raisins. • These foods can get stuck in the braces and make it difficult to remove plaque.
Conclusion • By following these techniques, you can keep your teeth and gums healthy while you have braces. • It is important to brush and floss your teeth twice a day and to see best dentist near you for regular checkups.
