Using a soft toothbrush, start brushing on the upper right side. Brush above and below the braces, using a circular motion.
Slowly work your toothbrush toward your front teeth and over to the left side. Then brush the insides and biting surfaces. It’s important to take your time!
Toothbrushes with soft bristles are better to use when having braces, than medium or hard bristles. When using a soft bristle toothbrush it’s easier to get into those nooks and crannies around the appliances. Another benefit is that they also don’t irritate your gums.
