Answers:
Brushing with braces makes you miss A LOT of spots!. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother!. They gave me this little brush that lets me pick food out between the wire and my teeth, but it doesnt get everything!.

Absolutely everything you eat gets stuck!. It's a pain! But flossing really helps get the food out from between your teeth even if you can't see a piece!. If you don't do it, it will sit it there for god knows how long and can easily cause gum disease!. Therefore, it's very important to floss regularly when you have braces!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You get gigivitis and gum recession!. Gross! It causes major bad breath as well!

I just bought some Platypus Ortho Flossers!. I haven't used them yet, but it looks very easy!.

I saw it on youtube!.
