Wearing braces on teeth, patients do not always know how to care for their teeth at this time. The course of cleaning teeth with braces should hold a doctor-orthodontist, which installed this design. If he suddenly did not give this meaning or you just forgot to ask how to brush your teeth in braces, we remind you.
1
Take away to the cleaning of teeth with braces with full responsibility - the teeth with braces are much vulnerable than open. If it is not possible to clean the remains of food from under them, it will begin to decompose. It threatens with an unpleasant smell of mouth, and the rapid development of caries. It will be very angry, if after removing the brackets you will receive not only a Hollywood smile, but also a couple of new holes in the teeth.
2
Clean the teeth with braces much more carefully than usual. Instead of traditional two times, cleansing should take place at least three times a day (ideally - after each meal). The duration of the teeth cleaning should also be increased to 4-5 minutes, unlike the traditional 2-3.
3
To clean the teeth, use pastes with an increased fluorine and calcium content that protect against the occurrence of caries. Also use a special orthodontic V-shaped brush, which, due to its form, will perfectly clean all the remnants of food between the teeth and braces.
4
Simultaneously with the orthodontic toothbrush, use the dental brush, which is designed to clean the small gaps between the teeth and braces.
5
During the day after short snacks, clean the slots between the teeth and brackets with a special dental thread (FLOSS) intended for patients wearing braces. It differs from the usual because it has a more rigid structure, which makes it easy to insert and stretch between teeth and braces.
For a more thorough cleaning of teeth, at once a month attend your dentist, which brings your teeth and braces by professional medical devices and tools.
