Keeping your pearly whites clean and healthy can be a challenge if you have braces. Braces<\/a> prevent you from biting on anything hard, like raw carrots or apples. You need to be extra cautious while brushing to avoid food particles staying in between your gums and teeth, which can lead to dental decay or gum disease. That\u2019s why it is imperative to follow some simple steps to keep your oral health in check with braces.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Start by holding the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle and gently brushing along the gum line. Next, shift the angle of the toothbrush so that you can carefully brush the tops of your brackets. Then, reposition the toothbrush to angle up so that you can brush under the brackets and wire. Be sure to clean each tooth.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Brush teeth twice daily & use Waterpik<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Brushing your teeth <\/a>twice a day is a good way to prevent bacterial build-up that can lead to tooth decay. While you have braces, you have to be extra careful with brushing, as your braces prevent you from biting on anything hard. This means that you need to be extra gentle while brushing your teeth with braces to avoid damaging them. We recommend using a soft toothbrush with a small head to brush your teeth with braces.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Brush your teeth once in the morning after waking up and once before going to bed. You should also brush your teeth after you consume a beverage or food that has a high sugar content or is highly acidic. By brushing your teeth after having something sweet or caffeinated, you help reduce the number of bacteria that can accumulate on your teeth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Floss after you brush teeth<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While brushing your teeth, it\u2019s also important to clean between your teeth and gums to prevent bacteria from building up. While it may be difficult to floss between your teeth with braces, it is possible with the help of a special floss threader. Using a floss threader is similar to how you would thread a needle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
