How to keep good oral hygiene while having braces

Creating a good oral hygiene routine while a patient is in braces is crucial. One very important step is to make sure you are doing a really good job with brushing. Here are a few things to keep in mind when you are brushing with braces:

1. Use a fluoride toothpaste.
2. Use a soft bristled toothbrush.
3. Begin brushing at a 45-degree angle using small, circular motions.
4. Place toothbrush on top of brackets, angling down to brush on top of the brackets.
5. Reposition the brush to brush the bottom to brackets as well as the wire, angling the toothbrush up.
