No its not harmful. I got my braces 3 weeks ago and im upsessed with brushing my teeth too!
This is a bit much but it's not too bad really. Brushing after every meal is advised. If you were brushing any more than 4 times id be a bit worried as the fluorine in the toothpaste erodes enamel.
I hope that mouthwash is sugar free!
I brush my teeth constantly, once an hour or so. I'm nearly 40 and they're all still there. I also floss, and at least one brush a day is dedicated to baking soda. So I know all about obsession in this area :( That's where we need the advice, not the dental hygiene!
No this is good for your braces keep up the good work!
Just make sure you are not brushing so hard that your gums bleed. That would be bad.
well with braces you should brush them after every meal...
