My orthodontist gave me a little "braces survival kit" when I first got braces. (about 2 months ago) It came with an oral b vitality toothbrush and it came with a "flexisoft" brush head. The good things about it is that it works pretty good to get all the food and stuff out of my braces and gets all the plaque of my teeth. It also comes with a charger. It also tells you when your two-minute brushing time is up by rapidly slowing down and speeding up. (like turning off and on three times) The bad thing is that it only gets about 25 minutes out of a 16 hour charge. I just try to keep it charging all the time. This isn't very accurate though because I didn't leave it plugged in for almost a week and it lasted fine. (I brush 2-3 times daily)
Also use Act mouthwash everytime after you brush. I suggest vanilla mint as it isn't too terribly strong, but if you like mint, get the regular kind.
Just make you don't get the "Power Polisher" brush head with it because oral b doesn't recommend it with braces.
The spin brush isn't reliable, whether you have braces or not. people that use it tend to let the brush do the work, as the batteries weaken so does the brush and it no longer brushes as effectivly. Use a regular brush or use an Oral-b Vanity, It's cheap and come with a charger so there are no batteries that weaken. Or if you can afford it a Sonicare
You should find a good electric toothbrush with an orthodontic brush head, or a manual brush. You should also get a restoring mouthwash when you have braces.
