Braces can be hard to clean, especially during the holidays when eating and drinking never seem to stop. Be it as it may, you shouldn’t ignore cleaning your braces because if you do, your braces could accumulate plaque and tartar that could damage your teeth.
That’s why if you’re looking for a way to properly clean your braces in Pompano Beach, here are some tips that you can try.
Brushing alone with your regular toothbrush might not be enough to properly clean your braces. That’s why it’s important to know that there are toothbrushes that are specifically made to clean braces.
The most common brace-specific toothbrush is the Proxabrush. This brush is designed to clean the gaps in between the wires of your braces where regular toothbrushes can’t reach. Coupled with a soft bristle toothbrush, your braces will be bright and clean after each brush.
If you think that you don’t need to floss because you have braces, then think again. Flossing your teeth doesn’t stop even if it seems impossible because of the wires obstructing the gaps in between your teeth. Food particles can still remain in those gaps, that’s why having braces shouldn’t prevent you from flossing that part of your teeth.
Using mouthwash is a great way to wash away and prevent the formation of bacteria in between and around your teeth. While brushing and flossing alone is enough to clean your braces, rinsing with mouthwash can wash away the remaining food particles and plaque that are in the gaps of your braces. Using mouthwash after brushing and flossing can also remove any bad breath causing bacteria in your mouth.
