What are the best toothbrushes and flossers for braces?
I am getting braces on the 26th ( which is in exactly a week ) and would just like to know what are the best products for cleaning them. Thank you!
Answers:
There are special toothbrushes made for braces, they have an indentation in the middle. Ask your dentist or orthodontist if they have some of these for you. A water pik is also a wonderful tool. It shoots a stream of water to dislodge food particles and clean gums. You could use a fluoride rinse to keep the teeth from getting cavities between the teeth while it is difficult to floss. There are also special floss threaders that you can use to thread the floss underneath the wires and floss the teeth. Good luck
