Answers:
How often you brush does not necessarily mean you are really doing a good job. Start with a very soft brush wet with warm water add a pea size amount of toothbrush close Teethh at a slight angle brush teeth in a circular pattern including the gums do the outside in quadrants spending at least one minute on each quad open mouth and continue with the circular motion including gums on upper and lower teeth on the chewing {flat surfaces of back teeth make sure your bristles are getting in the grooves. on inside of front teeth hold brush vertical. {when you do this well your mirror gets messy} remember to brush your tongue. lips and palate {roof of mouth} follow by flossing at least once a day
To really brush teeth well it takes about 6 to 7 minutes
don't forget to turn water off to conserve
Your gums will show a big improvement by next ortho visit
